In preschool, my daughter got to bake bread, garden, sew, finger knit, spend time in nature and listen to wonderful stories told by the teacher or presented in puppet plays. She ate nutritious snacks that she helped to prepare. She built imaginary worlds with other children and developed excellent social skills. At the time, I did not realize that all of this was actually designed to prepare her academically for a successful grade school experience. She is now in 5th grade at Water's Edge. She is learning German and Spanish, violin and recorder, and she is even knitting socks on 5 needles! Besides this, she is studying ancient civilizations, botany and geometry. She?s a happy child who writes, sings, and performs with confidence, and loves learning. The Waldorf philosophy of ""the right thing at the right time? really pays off. I am so thankful to have found Water?s Edge!
Pros: small class size, large, natural outdoor play space, integrated arts and academics
