Faith Collins                                Founder/owner of Joyful Toddlers

I firmly believe that we can increase our enjoyment of young children dramatically through concrete actions and by changing the lens through which we view them.  My work comes out of LifeWays, which is inspired by the work of Rudolf Steiner and Waldorf Education.  I finished the LifeWays Early Childhood and Human Development training in 2003 and have been working with young children, families, and daycare providers ever since.  After working for several years at Boulder Waldorf Kindergarten in Colorado, I teamed up with my mother, Rahima Baldwin Dancy (author of You Are Your Child’s First Teacher) to open the Rainbow Bridge LifeWays Program for children ages 1-5, in 2007.  I moved to London, England in 2011 with my husband, although I still return regularly to Colorado to teach and do coaching visits.  In addition to coaching, consulting and teaching classes through Joyful Toddlers, I also teach at the LifeWays trainings in the Rocky Mountain region, and am editor of the LifeWays newsletters.
