Inside Waldorf Classrooms Indoors and Outdoors - Silver Spring, Maryland

im 33 and i was crying because i did like my conventional preschool but i was such a hypersensitive child i suffered there. i have RSD and conventional preschool was so intimidating for me i really wish there were alternatives like this when i was small. im glad that children nowadays have this opportunity

Where do you get the colorful beeswax?

Where did you get the playframes? I love this idea!

This reminds me of my home country, I grew up without the fancy stuff and a lot of nature, fruit trees in our housing, playing with dirt ant sticks, building houses, we used our imagination
I work at a daycare and it is so different, there’s a ton of regulations and stuff

Thank you so much for sharing such a lovely learning environment. Would you share how you make the beeswax? I have been trying to make them for my children but either beeswax or soy wax is not kneadable. Thank you so much!

Does the Waldorf methodology exist for high school? with students from 14 to 18 years old?

I’ve been researching all the educational methods. So far Montessori , Waldorf , and Reggio are the methods I like the most. I don’t know which one I love more

I grew up going to a Waldorf school from kindergarten to eight grade, and it is such a home. Going to school everyday was so calming, the way everyone approaches each other, the music, the atmosphere, the art, it truly is amazing Waldorf. Growing up in a place surrounded by nature and community and being raised to appreciate others at such a high level in a sense of unity is a great way to grow up.

This is a cult. Be aware.

Very interesting and beautiful to see how other Waldorf/Steinerschools are in other countries. .My daughter is almost 3 years old and started a few months ago in kindergarten wich is here in Belgium integrated in the primary school. But at her current school she dont have a good connection with her 3 teachers and the classes are so big. She is developing not good and she even said many times that she dont want to go to school. So I started my journey to look for another school and on my path came the Steinerschool (in other countries named Waldorfschool) and at 27 february 2023 she will start in her new school. I am really excited and happy and I hope my daughter will be happy too. Btw you have really a wonderful school in a beautiful Environment♥️ love and respect from a Dutch 🇳🇱mother currently living in Belgium 🇧🇪

A nice looking cult.I wish parents knew more about this «kindergarden/school».It’s all about Rudolf Steiner.Please read!Educate yourself!

What a beautiful environment!

Ewww. Did you know pink takes energy from people? That's why prisons are often painted off pink.

I love it so much, many thank you!

I am considering between Montessori and Waldorf and this video was very helpful.

I don't understand why a hippie school would be so expensive

All these different teaching methods are amazing. I'm researching all of it if I ever have a child

This is a very good video, may I download and share it in China?

It all sounds very cosy, does it not? What this film does not show is just how vicious steiner teachers can be if one does not toe the party line, as in fascism. A dear friend of mine taught for a short while in one of these cult schools and happened to mention in a staff meeting that he did not believe in a tangible 'spiritual world', or angels, and that waldorf education needs to come of age and grow up!. Oh boy! Out came the knives and these so-called highly spritual people turned into a pack of fascist hounds baying for blood.
"How dare you object to being told how to think!";
"How dare you think for yourself?"
"How dare you say that the blood does not pump the heart";
"How dare you say that unborn children DO NOT choose their parents";
"How dare you say that the human body does not make cyanide." etc.
My friend was an outstanding teacher with a love of both his subject and the children but this was not good enough for the medieval cretins promulgating something akin to witchcraft. (Dr) Rhydian Harker.

and what do I do now in this swamp - NYC!

If only all children had the opportunity to attend a school like this, not just the privileged.

I would love to know where to buy some of those beautiful dolls!

I am over 50 and I wish I could attend this school!! I never grew up.
Next best would be to have my grandkids attend, but there are none in our area 🙁

i wish i could go there now so relaxing,

I wish ı can be teaching like your school because ı found myself in there and ı love it.

Lovely 🌸

This is absolutely beautiful! I wish to have been there in person. thank you for sharing this. <3

I've known and loved the Waldorf (Rudolph Steiner) way of teaching all my life, but I am surprised to hear that the kids address ye by your last name, which is something we never had to do and other teachers I have known also do not use their surname! It slightly contradicts the philosophy attached to that style of teaching, which is the teacher being "just" that , a teacher! A friend to the children, someone they can trust and rely on etc, rather than an authority figure that "separates" the teacher from the children! But don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting it's a bad thing they call you by your surname! It's just something I noticed and was surprised! (I jus personally never like calling anyone by their surname or title, because, as I said, it separates people! Peoples hearts....surnames are relatively "new" invention anyway) Having said all that, your place is beautiful! And that wreath is absolutely gorgeous! My sister's and my bedroom when were kids was painted the same pink! Back then it was called anthroposophical pink!😊🌠🍀 I am glad that schools like yours still cost and in fact have gained more recognition in some other parts of the world, including Ireland and NZ! Joy and growing success for ye in the future!

Lovely ideas for our house backyard and our children's education. Greetings from Chile <3

Outdoor School is the Best Education, School of Play Outdoors

looking at how much wooden object they have, it must have been all expensive. 😭

Yes yes yes

This is a brilliant model. Steiner Schools are a great start for preschool :)

These children will have a hard time realising real life is not a fairytale.

I would love to send my future children to a Waldorf School, or become a teacher there :)

In all kinds of weather. That sucks.

I am in awe how during the present time, Waldoefkindergartens , outdoor wood gardens have adapted their free play with even more healthy fresh air exposure and all the opportunities to develop their mobility, senses etc .without putting restrictive behavioural routines( for 《health-reasons》in! I have been a Steiner kindergarten teacher and applaud all the individual expressions and formats possible....!!❤🧡💛💚💙💜❣

I love that this is a place where even the parents embrace the daredevil side of children. They're not afraid to let them climb trees, jump off of things, and get covered in mud from head to toe. They're not afraid of paint. Kids aren't forced to conform. Why can't school be like this everywhere?

I know Waldorfkindergarten hier in Germany. I love it! They are very diferent with the Kids , so lovely teachers . Thank you so much for this Video

This screams wealth to me

How lovely! You can tell they truly love children and teaching/molding children

This is what all childcare centres need to be. Unfortunately the places I have worked are fake grass fake environments and fake care.

I'm blown away,this is on earth. Just wow.

Tears in my eyes, this is just awesome.

Wow, it is a beautiful place for children!!

Lovely... !!!

❤ is there some sort of directory that lists schools across the country that ar similar to this one? Thank you
