Additional Comments:
The Waldorf philosophy makes childhood a magical time and they learn so much in a fun, creative way they don't even realize they are learning. It is such a safe environment, I feel like I am dropping my kids off at grandma's house. This is the only school for us.

Additional Comments:
The teachers somehow end up knowing more about our kids than we do - they look at them in different ways and have such a connection with every single child in their class. Kids are allowed to be kids at our school and are learning so much in a such a fun way, they don't even realize they're learning!

Additional Comments:
This school teaches not only reverence for the world around us but the people we come in contact with as well. My child never complains about bullying or unhappiness upon pick up. I know that my child is in a safe homelike environment. At age 5 she the teachers are already instilling her with a great love for learning, that I know will be life long.

Children are allowed to be children. They are educated holistically...their head, heart, and hands. The curriculum is age/development appropriate. The teachers are amazing in their commitment to the children.
Is there anything you don't like about this school?
I would love to see us find a new location that fits our growing school.
Additional Comments:
The children are allowed to stay in their natural creativity so that they will be creative thinkers as adults. They play outside everyday regardless of the weather conditions, they have art and music that is intertwined throughout the day, truly a well rounded education.
