We're thinking about our daughter going to preschool and/or kindergarden at one. We don't agree with some of the Waldorf philosophies, but on the other hand, there are some very nice aspects of the school. =-=-=-=- dennis said it =-=-=-=-

Posted: 2 yearss ago Okay I had to google to figure out what exactaly a Waldorf School was- MY concern would be how well does the Waldorf education roll over to a Public education. Are you considering this as a pemenant education choice or just for a couple of years? The ideas of it is facsinating but it is just one idea on how to educate- it did state on Wikipedia that alot of public schools pick up on some of Waldorf's tec.- does waldorf pick up on other tec. that might not be in their philosphy? Just some ?? very interesting to read about, we have one here in Madison but it only goes to 1st. grade.
