Catalina Edwards is originally from Colombia and moved to the California Bay Area when she was a teen. She began her journey in Waldorf early childhood education at DWS as she was attending the Bay Area Center for Waldorf Teacher Training. After working at DWS for several years as an Assistant Teacher, she was asked to help plant the seed of Waldorf education in Vacaville, CA. Catalina was the inaugural Lead Preschool teacher at the Waldorf-inspired Pleasant Valley Preschool. She transitioned her class of preschoolers into Kindergarten and is excited to now return to DWS.
Catalina holds a Waldorf Early Childhood Certificate from The Sound Circle Center of Arts and Anthroposophy in Seattle, WA. She is a singer and songwriter and holds a certificate in Voice and Songwriting from The Musicians Institute in Los Angeles, CA. Catalina is thrilled to be back to where it all began for her. She loves the magic and wonder of the early childhood years. Most recently her studies have been focusing on the cultural healing songs from the indigenous peoples of South America. Catalina is looking forward to bringing her music and culture into the curriculum and being a part of the wonderful DWS community once again.
