Jennifer Mason born and raised in Sacramento. After attending community college, she moved to San Francisco and attended San Francisco State University. A week after graduating with a BA in Psychology, she gave birth to her daughter and moved back to Sacramento to be close to her family. Because her daughter was a strong willed child, she read many parenting books. While reading “You are Your Child’s First Teacher,” she discovered Waldorf education. Within a month she signed up to become a Waldorf teacher at Rudolf Steiner College and has been teaching ever since. After her training, Jennifer went on to work as a nap teacher in the kindergarten at Sacramento Waldorf School. She also had two sons and when they were toddlers she owned and operated a Waldorf inspired home preschool program. When her youngest son was in third grade Jennifer became the preschool teacher at Camellia Waldorf School. She is a proud parent of three children who attended Waldorf School from kindergarten to twelfth grade. When she is not teaching she likes to garden, practice yoga and spend time with her children.
