Par Duncan was born and raised in a small village in Punjab, India and grew up on a farm surrounded by life in all forms – plants, animals, and a large family. Food and traditions were everything. Mrs. Duncan was 14 years old when her family moved to Dublin, CA. Par, along with her husband and two sons, moved to Davis in 2004. Once in Davis, Mrs. Duncan and her husband looked for a holistic education for their sons and they came across Davis Waldorf School (DWS). Their oldest son started at DWS in kindergarten in 2005, and her younger son started preschool in 2006. Both of Mrs. Duncan’s boys graduated from DWS then completed high school and their Waldorf journeys at Sacramento Waldorf School (SWS). Mrs. Duncan instantly fell in love with Rudolph Steiner’s whole child Waldorf approach to learning. She dove into Waldorf education and anthroposophy and has worked in Early Childhood (EC) since 2013. Mrs. Duncan has previously volunteered and worked at DWS in multiple roles and has taught at SWS. She has been mentored by several experienced Waldorf EC teachers, including Teacher Mary and, for the past year, Teacher Jenny.
Mrs. Duncan is currently enjoying her EC teacher training at the Seattle Sound Circle and will be finished in July 2022. She enjoys spending time with family and friends, cooking, reading, long walks, yoga, gardening, handwork, and listening to different types of music. Mrs. Duncan lives in Davis with her two sons, husband, and German Shepherd dog, Adi.
