Samantha deLeca is a long-time Waldorf homeschool parent and teacher. Eighteen years ago she began her homeschool journey with her firstborn son. Her eldest two children have completed their Waldorf schooling and are embarking on their life’s journey with a true love of learning and a confident sense of self. She has a 14-year-old rising 9th grader and an 8-year-old rising 2nd grader.

She has dived deeply into hundreds of Waldorf books, spent years working closely with Waldorf teachers, and eventually qualified as a Waldorf teacher with a degree in Early childhood education, and a postgraduate in Waldorf pedagogy and anthroposophy. She has taught in multi-level classes in global brick and mortar and online Waldorf Schools from South Africa, to Canada, USA and Ireland.

She has taught two Waldorf cycles of class 1-9 with her own children. She taught grade 7 at the Village Waldorf School in South Africa. She taught grades 1,2,3,4 and 5 at the Dublin Steiner school in Ireland. A member of the Anthroposophical Society of Ireland, she taught grades 1 through 6 at the Kildare Steiner School in Ireland, and she supported the grade 1 teacher as a mentor at the Squamish Waldorf School in Canada. She taught grade 6 online in 2020 and she is currently teaching class 7 and 8 online. 

She is a lifelong learner, continuously attending courses and conferences, adding what she learns to her live lessons. These lessons are organic, evolving every year with the children that are placed before her. She is passionate about the lesson content and curriculum that she delivers. She is happy to be part of the Streaming for Humanity teaching team and looks forward to sharing meaningful lessons with her students.
