[quote=Anonymous]We have two children at the Washington Waldorf School and we are extremely happy with this school.
It's hard to explain Waldorf education briefly - I encourage anyone interested to visit an Open House. You can find
dates on the website or by calling the school. It's an amazing place once you learn  about it - but that can take some time.
We started with a parent-child class and thought we would only stay for pre-school. But as you slowly learn more
about the richness of the education it is hard to leave.

The reasons we make big financial sacrifices to send our two children to WWS are many. Our children like school, WWS makes
learning active and fun. The teachers are exceptional, have  gone through special training and are very devoted to teaching and to each child. 
Teachers feel more like family members than random teachers. The educational approach is always geared towards what is appropriate for each age 
of the child, which has been thought about very carefully. (They did not "officially" teach my daughter to read chapter books until about second grade, 
but the benefit of waiting and not pushing is that she now really loves to read! She always has a book in her hand at home.) They also spend a lot of time outside, in nature -
an activity that is lost on many children now. Creativity and each child's artistic side is also developed. In short - they help create well rounded children
who are creative, big thinkers, respect nature, and they let them enjoy a simple old-fashioned childhood. The children are surrounded each day in beauty.
It's too hard to explain in a post - you have to go visit and see for yourself. If you are lucky and your children are under 6 you have discovered Waldorf right in time!
