The Waldorf approach to education is the conscious an intentional use of the insights and indications of Rudolf Steiner as the foundation for pedagogical and organizational work in education. The Waldorf approach to education has become a global movement and, as it draws close to its 100-year anniversary, it has become well-documented in its efficacy; especially in today’s fast-paced, convenient, and technologically-driven world.
We continually provide a unique, innovative and integrated curriculum (concepts, products and materials) that aligns with the principles for developmental learning as established by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). Best teaching practices, based on well-established and rigorous research, guide our curriculum choices and approaches.
A print-rich environment enhances student understanding of oral and written language and provides a foundation for future learning. For this we use the Zoo-phonics® Multisensory Language Arts Program. Zoo-phonics® integrates all aspects of language arts (phonological awareness, the alphabet, print information and oral language) with math, art, music, science, social studies, resource conservation, cooking and nutrition, sensory motor, physical education, grooming and self-care.
