Our Vision

Our vision is that through our approach to early childhood education:

Every child is met with dignity in the early years of life.
All children be provided an environment to build a healthy body, allowing them to develop into self-directed human beings with creativity, imagination, and social capacities.
All children are given the opportunity to unfold their unique spiritual nature.
Those who care for and welcome the young child are supported and respected.

Our Mission

Our mission is informed by Rudolf Steiner’s Anthroposophy, Waldorf Education, and the Pikler Institute to:

Offer whole hearted support for families.
Provide education and mentoring for early childhood teachers.
Commit to the principles of respect, kindness, compassion, and inclusion for families and teachers.

We will:

Advocate on behalf of children and families with knowledge, awareness and passion for a world where childhood is joyful and honored.
Provide rhythmic care and education for children from infancy to kindergarten age.
Foster a relationship with the natural world through exploration and practical work activities.
Empower early childhood teachers and manifest joy as the heart of their vocation.

Waldorf education is timeless. It springs from insight and interest in the whole child: the child as a wise, always growing and changing, self-directed human spiritual being. Waldorf education recognizes the child as someone with a unique, innate, inner core of identity. Even in infancy, Waldorf education supports this unique individual who is developing step by step.
Our programs for infants and toddlers support these changes throughout childhood by protecting the children, by nurturing them through a balanced daily rhythm filled with joy. Our Teacher Education Center prepares teachers to bring this deep understanding into their classrooms and enrich their professional lives.
