Our wonderful teacher is an accomplished writer!


"Enlightened Parenting is a refreshing and practical instruction manual for parents, teachers and caregivers. It reminds us that parenting, like life, is an adventure that requires planning and organization while operating within the rules and guidelines of nature. Ronna clearly and effectively communicates the importance of self realization by developing and nourishing our own souls in order for us to become effective role models and parents for our children."

Ronna is a highly respected child educator and has worked for years as a parenting coach. You can visit her website for more information on the work she was doing in Hawaii before moving to Orcas "http://www.partnersinparenting.net"

Teacher: Ronna McEldowney

Ronna, author of the self-published book, “Enlightened Parenting: What Every Child Wishes For & What Every Parent Wants To Give,” has 32 years of experience as a Waldorf teacher. A pioneer of the Waldorf model of early education, she has helped start five schools based on education which integrates play and practical tasks with learning.

"Love is higher than opinion. If people love one another the most varied opinions can be reconciled - this is one of the most important tasks for humankind today and in the future is that we should learn to live together and understand one another. If this human fellowship is not achieved, all talk of development is empty." - Rudolf Steiner

"Waldorf education places the development of the individual child in the focal point, convinced that the healthy individual is a prerequisite for a healthy society."
The International Conference on Education of the United Nations Educational and Scientific Cultural Organization

"Waldorf education draws out the best of qualities in young people. While this is not an instant process, the values they learn provide a lifelong platform from which to grow."
Gilbert Grosvenor, President Emeritus of the National Geographic Society
