Waldorf Education
“The heart of the Waldorf method is the conviction that education is an art — it must speak to the child’s experience. To education the whole child, his heart and will must be reached as well as his mind.” Rudolf Steiner
Waldorf Education celebrated it’s 100th anniversary in 2019. Here is a lovely video made to honor this event, and it gives a beautiful glimpse of Kindergartens worldwide. Waldorf 100
Educating the Whole Child
“Music, dance and theater, writing, literature, legends and myths are not simply subjects to be read about and tested. They are experienced. Through these experiences, Waldorf students cultivate their intellectual, emotional, physical and spiritual capacities to be individuals certain of their paths and to be of service to the world.” AWSNA
Simplicity Parenting
“Simplicity Parenting© by Kim John Payne offers a simple, orderly, and effective pathway to simplify four realms [Environment, Rythym, Scheduling, Unplugging] at home, which reduces stress on children and their parents, and allows room for connection, creativity, and relaxation.” SimplicityParenting.com
