Regina Family Center was founded by several parents who were all in touch with Regina, a German midwife, mostly during pregnancy, delivery and during the first period with the newborn baby.
After 2 years of preparation, brain storming and planning, the Regina Family Center PLC was licensed by the Ethiopian Government.
From the beginning, Regina made clear, that it was her dream to start a Waldorf Daycare, Kindergarten and also School, since there is nothing similar in the country and everybody she met wished to have an alternative to the common educational system. She introduced parents to the ideas of Steiner and the philosophy behind the Waldorf Kindergarten and Schools and we were very amazed and impressed about this approach towards children. So we decided to open a Waldorf inspired Daycare and Kindergarten with the hope to build on this a school.
In April 2015 we found a house which seemed appropriate and after renting it, we started the Daycare with our little ones and with the advice of a Waldorf Kindergarten teacher from Germany. We are still learning, but we are very optimistic that we are on the right track.
The daycare/kindergarten started with children between 12 months and 4 years old and we have the capacity to enroll 40 to 50 children.
In October 2015 we got help for 6 weeks from a retired Waldorf Kindergarten teacher who helped us understanding and starting in the right way; train ourselves and the nannies, as well as the parents.
The day care started and we open our door every 2nd Sunday (next event 24th of January), After school activities are in planning as well as Gymnastics for pregnant and non-pregnant women and classes for pregnant couples. We will organize Seminars and Workshops soon.
