Born and raised in Beijing, China, Anan grew up in a bilingual environment. She went to the University in the UK, and after completing her graduate degree, she studied law for her Master’s degree. Anan started her career by joining KPMG as an auditor and became a qualified chartered accountant. She and her family relocated to Beijing after her older son was born. They then moved to Hong Kong two years later. 

Anan joined Waldorf Steiner School Singapore two years ago as a Chinese teacher. With her experiences, she hopes to grow and blossom together with Straitswaldorf.

Ms Reginea discovered her passion for teaching while she was in the IT industry.  She then decided to pursue a certification in teaching with the National Institute of Education.

Her journey as a teacher began from 2002 where she taught different subjects (English, Math, Science and Arts) to children from Primary 1 to Primary 6 at Singapore local primary schools.  Reginea continued her love of teaching when she relocated with her family to Taiwan. She volunteered for the Reading and Comprehension programme at Taipei European School, her children’s school. This exposure to International School values and practices has definitely widened her horizon and provided valuable new insights into teaching.

She continues working in the education industry by developing curriculums for student-care centres, and conducting Creative Writing Workshops upon her return to Singapore.  

Ms. Reginea is multi-faceted, alongside her technology and education background, she is also an incredibly gifted musician and crafter. She joined the Lotus Bloom School under its previous name, The Waldorf School Singapore, as our Music and Handwork teacher in 2019. 

Ms. Reginea holds a Masters in Business, IT with RMIT, Melbourne Australia and is a MOE Registered Instructor.  She continues to deepen her knowledge on Waldorf education by attending the Steiner Primary Teaching Foundation Course with Sydney Rudolf Steiner College. 

As an inner child integration therapist, and teacher of Reiki and yoga, Sita’s work is rooted in self-empowerment. She finds deep fulfilment in helping adults and children regain their inherent state of being with a compassionately conscious mind-body-spirit approach.

Sita has been with the Early Years classroom since 2021. She is currently pursuing a Steiner certification in Early Childhood Teaching.

Sita is the mother of two beautiful boys, and enjoys poetry, photo art and long walks amongst nature.

However, upon becoming a mother, her focus shifted towards spending quality time with her children and engaging them in artistic activities. It was during this phase that she had the opportunity to attend the sessions about Anthroposophy by Ms. Julie Amanda Neale. This eye-opening experience transformed her perspective on child development and the vital roles of parents and teachers in nurturing children. Inspired by this newfound understanding, she decided to combine my artistic background with my passion for working with children. Consequently, she is pursuing the teacher training course at Sydney Rudolf Steiner College and she considers it a privilege to inspire young children.

Mariya has spent 10 years across different areas in education and training development in Singapore and Australia. She has taught English to primary and secondary school students in Singapore, and has spent 7 years designing training and professional development programs for adult learners.

She came across Waldorf education when researching child-centred education for her own children, and was fascinated to come across this philosophy that was so aligned to supporting the mental, emotional and physical well-being of children. When life brought the opportunity to become a Waldorf educator, she embraced it wholeheartedly. 

To bring balance in health and rhythm in learning’ are the words that guide Mariya along this journey.
