Class Experience

In "Blooming Artistry," children embark on a captivating journey through the world of art, guided by the delicate beauty of flowers. Students will be inspired by the works of renowned artists such as Georgia O'Keeffe, Henri Matisse, Vincent Van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Yayoi Kusama, and Gustav Klimt, as they delve into a rich tapestry of floral masterpieces.

Throughout this enchanting class, students will explore the intricate relationship between art and nature, unraveling the diverse interpretations and techniques employed by different artists across various movements. From the vibrant abstractions of Cubism to the dreamy landscapes of Impressionism, each brushstroke tells a story of reverence and wonder for the floral world.

Guided by the gentle rhythm of Waldorf-inspired teachings, students will engage in meaningful discussions, comparing and contrasting artistic styles, exploring the symbolism of flowers, and cultivating a deeper understanding of the Element of Art: Line. Through hands-on activities and interactive learning experiences, young artists will awaken their creativity and hone their observational skills, learning to appreciate the subtle nuances of form and expression.

Finally, students will embark on a playful adventure, rolling dice to unveil their own unique flower-inspired creations. Focused on the Element of Art: Line, budding artists will weave their visions into existence, guided by the harmonious balance of structure and spontaneity. As the class culminates, they will share their own creations with classmates, nurturing a sense of community and camaraderie rooted in mutual appreciation for artistic expression.

Join us in "Blooming Artistry" and cultivate a garden of imagination where every stroke of the brush is a testament to the beauty that surrounds us. Together we will celebrate the timeless allure of flowers and the diverse and boundless creativity that springs forth when art and nature intertwine.

Welcome to  The Friendly Forest School! 

I come to you with a wealth of knowledge, classroom experience, and a passion for teaching young children though play. 

My classes follow a Waldorf-inspired approach that focuses on the holistic development of children, ensuring that academic skills are nurtured in an engaging and imaginative manner.

A predictable peaceful rhythm, delightful melodies, American Sign Language, and captivating tales (often set in the Friendly Forest) infuse every lesson, making learning a joyful exploration!I 

By embracing the ebb and flow of nature's cycles, my goal is to help children feel grounded, secure, and ready to absorb knowledge with open hearts and curious minds.

ABOUT ME: 

My journey in education began in the summer of 2001 with an internship in Early Childhood Education at the Children's Museum of Indianapolis. After earning my Bachelor's Degree from Purdue University, I worked as a social worker and case manager for young children in LaPorte, Indiana.

I later moved to Phoenix, AZ, where I transitioned into Special Education, working as an in-home therapist for children with Autism and other developmental disabilities. My focus was on developing expressive language through American Sign Language, as well as supporting the whole child through sensory integration and positive behavior strategies. In 2005, I was honored to be named Arizona’s "Caregiver of the Year" by the Governor.

In 2006, I earned my Master’s Degree in Special Education and began teaching in a K-6 self-contained classroom. During this time, I developed an award-winning, school-wide Positive Behavior Intervention Support program rooted in peace and mindfulness. For this work, I received the "You Make a Difference" award from the Osborn School District.

My daughter, Eleanor, was born in 2010, and in 2013, I left the classroom to focus on motherhood full-time. That same year, my youngest daughter, Annalise, was born. During this time, I embraced Waldorf philosophies at home and began homeschooling using Waldorf and Montessori-inspired methods.

In 2017, I founded my own Early Childhood Center, Let’s Play Learning, which provided a developmentally appropriate curriculum centered on the belief that young children learn best through hands-on exploration of the natural world, a thoughtfully prepared environment, and nurturing guidance from both caregivers and skilled educators. When the pandemic began, I transitioned to teaching online—a shift I have come to love!

In my classes, I strive to cultivate a culture of peace and mindfulness, integrating academic learning with nature, imaginative play, storytelling, and artistic expression.

Today, I live with my family just five minutes from the beautiful shores of Lake Michigan.
