Resources for Parents
Holistic and healthy education
Parents fill many vital roles in our community and provide essential, on-going support of the activities of the school.
“
The heart of the Waldorf method is that education is an art-it must speak to the child’s experience. To educate the whole child, his heart and his will must be reached, as well as the mind.
Rudolf Steiner
