We've been loosely involved in Waldorf here since the fall of 2009. We live at the Durham/Wake border and have always driven 20-35 minutes to do so. We started DD in a home preschool in Hillsborough that used to be part of the Triangle Home Nursery Association, then last year for her kindergarten year she attended one of the Waldorf home nurseries closer to EWS. This year she actually started 1st grade at Emerson Waldorf School.
EWS offers a lot of events open to the public (usually free) that might help steer you in the right direction or help you meet others who can. There are parenting workshops, and Waldorf Education Day (usually in January each year) is very good!! There are also festivals and events, such as the Holiday Faire, that you can get involved in that would only require driving to Chapel Hill for that single day. If you go to the school website, you can click on "Community" at the top right or perhaps "About EWS" at the top left to find contacts. Our Outreach & Marketing Director listed there is also a professional parent educator and an awesome person to contact for anything. If she doesn't have the answer, she can find it for you or connect you with someone who can!
The home nursery ladies are all very valuable resources as well! I wouldn't hesitate to contact them and ask for information. They don't look down upon you if you are new to the concept... they are all willing to teach families about Waldorf education.
Most of the parents I've met through Waldorf education started in the same boat, so to speak, just trying to figure out how to do things! Feel free to PM me with other specific questions.
