Hello,

I’m looking for a short term position teaching abroad in the 2025-26 school year.

 I am currently in my 21st year of teaching Kindergarten in a Waldorf methods charter school in Northern California. I have a class of 24 and each year I think my current class is the best ever. I work very hard and am very enthusiastic about teaching. At this stage of my career I feel like I have the perfect balance of wisdom and inspiration and would love to share that. 

I got my Waldorf Early Childhood certificate at the Steiner School in Fair Oaks California in 2007. 

I have worked professionally as a sewer, dyer and felter. Handwork teaching is another area I greatly enjoy sharing with children. I love sharing my love for all that is Waldorf early childhood; the cooking, the hiking, the gardening, the woodworking and beyond. 

Both my children went through my school. My youngest is 15 and she would likely be traveling with me. 

I’m wanting to take a leave of absence at my school for 6-8 weeks. I’m available all year except September-November 21st, during this time I would need to do the hard work of setting up my new class for a successful year. I’m hoping to do a long term substitute job for another teacher or do mentorship and parent education or both. 

I love Waldorf education and expanding our connections in the wider Waldorf World.I hope you enjoy the picture I’m including showing myself, my artwork and my classroom. I look forward to hearing from you if you have any potential openings.

Kindly

Jennifer Jones
