Dr Renate Long-Breipohl taught in Steiner Waldorf kindergartens for many years. She now advises and lectures around the world in early childhood education and with the Sydney Rudolf Steiner College.
Her book, Under the Stars: The foundations of Steiner Waldorf early childhood education, originated as much from her own experience and research with young children as from Rudolf Steiner, though she believes that engaging with his thinking is a crucial foundation for educators.
