San Francisco Waldorf School – Early Childhood Program

by Marisa Toriggino

San Francisco Waldorf School – Early Childhood Program.

The Early Parenting (birth to age 3) program at the SF Waldorf school has just started their enrollment for the fall 2010.  I took these classes for 5 years-through both of my children’s early years.  It has informed my life as a parent.   I found the information in the classes to be helpful, supportive, intelligent, philosophical and heart centered–really it is yoga but with more practical applications for everyday life-such as why would I want to dress my child warmly?  what are the effects of television?  how much should I be talking to my newborn?  what are some of the parameters for sleep training an infant?  If you feel like you might be interested please look into it.  I know your children will benefit from it and love it!

Allison was not the director when I was taking classes, but I know her and I think she is top notch.

Email: “… favorite parts of being pregnant”

I cannot tell you how much fun I had at yoga today. Prenatal yoga was one of my absolute favorite parts of being pregnant – the community I found there was amazing and I truly cherished it. I was so excited to come today and it was even better than I had hoped. It was so good to see you and Jillian and Erin again, I felt like I was coming home. Thank you for having all the wonderful pre and post natal classes – they really offer us a lot.

via A consumer craving for classical comfort at SF Gate.

When Corte Madera’s Restoration Hardware revamped its look last year, designers and consumers alike instantly took note. After previewing the collection, Maxwell Gillingham-Ryan, the founder of design blog Apartment Therapy, posted that “the store is virtually unrecognizable from what it was.”

In his opinion, that was a good thing. A company that was perhaps best known for its towels and drawer pulls was rebranding itself with furniture heavily influenced by antiques and European design: The Versailles chair stands out with its dramatic dome, the Sealight floor lamp resembles something 19th century British sailors may have seen and the mirrors are a nod to classic architectural windows.
