[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would second taking a look at Waldorf but make sure you can live with the philosophy because if your kid enjoys the iPad, movies, etc. it will only make her more anxious to be at school where those things are frowned upon.

Agree with others, you  need to address the anxiety and figure out what's going on then look for a school. Moving schools before you have a handle on her needs could trigger yet another school change.[/quote]

Agreed, and it's not just the iPad.  There is a lot of stuff that is different about Waldorf, both in terms of the curriculum and in terms of the student/parent culture.  We were at a different Waldorf school (in a different state) and left after preK because: A) we knew we were moving and would not be using Waldorf in elementary, so needed DC to learn to read in kindy; and B) I found the culture very insular and clubby.  I mean, we check all of the boxes (no TV, super crunchy, into instrumental music and handmade crafts) but still couldn't "crack" the parent community there. [/quote]
