Our Mission

---

Our teachers are graduates and students of the Bay Area Center for Waldorf Teacher Training, with experience in Waldorf Early Childhood Education as well as Forest School Education. We follow  Rudolf Steiner’s philosophy of the three-fold human being, head, heart and hands, and work with a loving interest in and acceptance of each child.

Young children learn through imitation, through the experience of diverse sensory impressions, and through movement. We focus on real rather than virtual experiences to support the child in forming a healthy relationship to the world. Play makes it possible for young children to digest and understand their experiences. 

At the heart of Waldorf Education, is the sense of rhythm. With a rhythmic structure to the days, weeks, and years, children are able to truly thrive. In our Waldorf Forest School, we follow a strong rhythm that holds the children and allows for them to develop a sense of trust and security in the world around them. As the months go by, nature brings new wonders to behold in the world around us, connecting us to the cycles of the earth in which we live. We strive to cultivate a sense of reverence for mother nature and the food and nourishment she provides.
