Paulette Marchand
Paulette Marchand is an experienced teacher, mother of two, and lover of life, who has been enjoying working with children for the last 16 years. After studying early childhood education at PCC and working with children in schools and non-profit organizations, she longed for a deeper and richer approach to working with the young child, she found it in the Waldorf philosophy. She finished her Waldorf early childhood teacher training through the Micha-el Institute. With love and dedication she ran her own Waldorf inspired home program for 6 years. She is thankful for the wonderful teachers she has been able to work with and learn from, but still feels strongly after all these years that the greatest teachers are the children that she is privileged to work with.
