The Denver Waldorf School

		Clair Boswell Clair is a Denver native, and attended the Denver Waldorf School from kindergarten through 8th grade. After graduating from Metropolitan State College with a BA in Creative Writing, she traveled to Nepal and volunteered at the Tashi Waldorf School. Inspiration was renewed by the health and beauty of this experience of Waldorf education again, and shortly after she pursued her Master's in Education and Waldorf training at Antioch University, New England. Not long after graduation, Clair took a job teaching kindergarten at the Brooklyn Waldorf School, where she and her husband helped form the school leadership and shape the early childhood program. After having their first child, the family relocated back to Denver. SInce then, Clair has enjoyed time with her two boys, doula work, teaching caregiver/child classes at Boulder Valley Waldorf School and at the Denver Waldorf School, and developing a Waldorf inspired outdoor home program. She is passionate about parent education, and loves being with little children. She is also pursuing training in trauma informed pedagogy, through the Center of Anthroposophy. She loves most to be with her family, travel, and drink really good coffee.
