Main Teacher - Inner Circle Tending - Brittany Young:

Brittany is an impassioned educator who is rooted in the understanding that education is a vehicle for helping children to remember and honor their true nature while also discovering their unique relationship to the world within and around them.

Brittany has been a Waldorf lead teacher for 4 years and has worked with children from 1st through 8th grade. She holds a Masters degree in social and cultural foundations of education. As a guide, her foundational philosophy is: If we as adults aim to see the children clearly and respond to what we see with presence, respect and nurturance, then we contribute to the forming of the future generations in a vital way.

Brittany walks with a deep reverence for the Earth and weaves this into every approach she takes to teaching. Her work is also centered on rediscovering ways to honor and guide the youth during a most pivotal moment in their development as humans BEING in the world. She is elated to offer her gifts and passion as a part of this vision for the youth. She is also a mother and artist who thrives most when she can create and share from her heart and soul.

Administration - Outer Circle Tending - Rachelle Garcia Seliga:

Rachelle is a Mother and traditional midwife - whose work is dedicated to midwifing a cultural shift, in honor of our innate wisdom, personal authority and the sanctity of Life. She is the creator of INNATE Postpartum Care Trainings, offering a framework of postpartum and maternal WELLNESS care for health care practitioners worldwide. Rachelle lives and works from the understanding that the most effective and powerful usage of our collective energy comes from creating structures and systems that support Life and our connection to it.

Administration - Outer Circle Tending - Rachelle Garcia Seliga:

As this is a HOMESCHOOL COOPERATIVE, at least one parent of each child will be responsible for:

Weekly: Assisting their children in completing any homework assignments that are given.
Respond to any emails sent by main teacher.
Bi-Monthly: All-families meeting / potluck
Monthly: Each family is responsible for classroom involvement of 4 hours per month - the nature of this will be determined based on the needs of the teacher and classroom as well as what skills and expertise parents are able to offer.
Bi-annually: Clean up party - to tend to the inside and outside of the homeschool cooperative space.
Annually: Attending an annual weekend gathering sometime at the beginning of the school year where parents and children will be present to connect, learn, and create. This will give an exploration into different aspects of the curriculum.
