Maureen Radigan of the Child’s Garden preschool.
Maureen Radigan is the founder and teacher of The Child’s Garden Preschool, a Waldorf inspired kindergarten in Southold, N.Y. that provides a safe, natural, loving, “green” environment in which early childhood is honored, protected and can unfold in a gentle way. Stewardship and a connection to the land is a central theme because their curriculum follows the seasons of the year. The potatoes Maureen used for her recipe was from the Child’s Garden; the recipe was one the children made during a cooking class.
