Waldorf Early Childhood Educator Training Auditing

Join our Waldorf early childhood educator training courses as an auditor.

Courses are open to Waldorf educators and those interested in anthroposophy. Course participants will join our teacher training program and are asked to pay an auditing fee of $30 per class and in some cases a materials fee. Auditors must commit to, and pay for, all classes within a course.

(Please note that auditors are asked to be quiet participants—present as observers only—unless asked by instructors to contribute.)

All prices are Canadian dollars
