Donna Hamann
Donna is a member of the Waldorf Early Childhood Association of North America and has a teaching certificate from the state of Maryland. She is currently in her 20th year of teaching children.  Donna worked for eight years in a Waldorf Kindergarten of about 125 children in classes from infant/toddler, two day, three day and mixed- age, five day classes.  She relocated to Colorado with her family in 1995.  From observations of large classrooms (18 and 20 students) a consistent number of young children struggle, needing greater time with the adult teachers. Out of that she developed her own home preschool program, Mountain Morning Preschool,  where class sizes are not greater than twelve children daily with one assistant.  She has worked extensively with the Boulder County Special Education Department to provide schooling in a more conventional setting to children with designated special needs.      She continues to teach and offer adult parent education evenings to a growing number of families in the Boulder community.  She opens her home to community festival celebrations several times yearly.

 Donna Hamann is the mother of three children, now thirty, twenty-six, and twenty-four years old.
They have attended the Washington Waldorf School in Washington, D.C., and Shining Mountain Waldorf School in Boulder, CO.  Donna is  the grandmother of three children, two, five and nine years old.  Her family has been involved with Waldorf Education since 1978, when her husband, now deceased, took his Master’s in Waldorf Education at Adelphi University, associated with the Garden City, NY, Waldorf School.

Donna was born in Sacramento, California, and  is the third of three children.  She spent summers in the Sierra’s.  Her love of nature brings forth gifts yearly not only from her work in the garden, but from her work with children in the preschool/ kindergarten.
