“My granddaughter was in public "mainstream" school for kindergarten and had a test at least weekly! TESTS for kindergarteners all because regular public schools teach the test so the Federal NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND test scores are high which equals more money to the school! This school believes in NOT teaching anything that the child's brain is not developed enough to handle. They might be behind in learning writing and reading at first, but then suddenly they will catch up and pass the other systems. In the past year (2017-18) with new head, and a few new teachers, my opinion has changed a bit--seven out of 25 children were uncomfortable, and felt she was very negative towards students and spoke negative remarks to some students IN FRONT OF THE CLASS! We got parents to email the school AND had a conference to speak of the problems. NOTHING was done and when I wrote to the Head of the school (Principal) I got a "form" letter for our trouble. My daughter and I did work and talked to other parents before bringing up this problem and yet NOTHING was done! THIS is very negative teaching and against all Waldorf principles! This school has teachers that NUTURE the children--our public mainstream didn't have time for teachers to talk to their kids about anything other than teaching--no nurturing no friendly feelings. This school takes nature walks and teaches children to respect and understand nature and all the seasons. They play with math theories before they learn what they mean and how to use them. Waldorf has made a huge difference in our granddaughter and if she's too ill (tummy) to go to school in the AM--she'll beg her mom to take her to school when she feels better because she doesn't want to miss anything. She has the same teacher all through the grades--she's in second grade now. This hasn't changed as the main teachers are great! I'd still recommend this school to any parent! 2018 re-rated.”
