Full Membership

Country and multi-country/continental Waldorf early childhood association may apply for Full Membership in the Association. Each association determines its own ways of working and sets its own criteria for the membership of kindergartens and early childhood programs in its country or region.

• Readiness to take initiative and to collaborate with colleagues on an international basis to fulfill the purposes of the Association

Each Full Member Association sends a representative to the Council, the main decision-making body of the Association.
