Jaia has been a class teacher since 2011, both in brick and mortar schools and at Seasons of Seven, and is a Waldorf Alumna herself! As a lifelong lover of learning, Jaia appreciates the fact that she can be immersed in the wonders of the Waldorf curriculum along with her students as they learn through the grades. She loves her students deeply, and enjoys seeing each of them develop their strengths as they grow into full human beings. Jaia grew up in the jungles of Hawaii, and began her own educational journey as a homeschooler before attending a Waldorf school for the upper grades. Jaia loves being able to revel in the green beauty of the Pacific Northwest’s woods, rivers, and coastline, and is excited to have more freedom to explore while still teaching students! She is thrilled to return to Seasons of Seven.
Jaia received her Waldorf Teaching Certificate from Micha-el Institute, after completing a MEd in Elementary Education at Portland State and a BA in International Affairs with a minor in theater at Lewis and Clark College.

Melisa Nielsen at Waldorf Essentials shares a topic that is often brought up in Waldorf Groups.
Feminine aspects of the curriculum.
- It's important to read the stories ahead of time.
- Connect with the stories.
- If you're not prepared and your sharing the story with the child during main lesson, they will feel that.
- You don't want to be questioning and processing the story for yourself during main lesson time. Do the prep work.

Melisa Nielsen at Waldorf Essentials answers the question most families have.
"How do you create daily quiet time?"
- Rhythm is key, when you are consistent and the children know what's coming next they do not question it.
- How does quiet time change as the children get older and are not napping?
- Setting a timer.
- What does everyone do during quiet time?
