We offer preschool & kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, parent-child playgroups, and summer camp. It is our mission to provide an education that honors every child's enthusiasm for initiative, creativity and social responsibility. Our parent-child playgroups provide a gentle introduction to the rhythms of the Waldorf classroom, for children ages 1 to 4 years old.
We celebrated the first of our autumn harvest festivals, known as Michaelmas, last week Friday. By celebrating the passage of the seasons through art, music and story, we strengthen our connection to the rhythms of nature. Music as a big part of the MWS experience, from Solo + Ensemble performers learning and performing through our band program, to the everyday music that is part of our students' school-day experience.

About
Report
The Waldorf educational philosophy nurtures the whole human, and its pedagogy fosters healthy emotional development by conveying knowledge experientially as well as academically. The belief that education is an uplifting process is central to the Waldorf philosophy. Young children in our preschool and kindergarten classrooms experience a day rooted in play and wonder, and gentle, predictable rhythms.
Programs
Report
Our kindergarten teachers create a warm, naturally beautiful environment in a home-like setting. Days allow ample time for play, both indoor and outdoor. Children participate in purposeful tasks throughout the day, such as cooking, cleaning, gardening, washing, crafting, and more. At circle time, children participate in seasonal verses, songs, stories, and games.

Events
Report
As parents, we are our children's first teachers. We are their models throughout their lives. MWS parent education evenings are designed to bring knowledge, discussion and inspiration to MWS families and the wider community. We are currently planning several parent education events for 2021/2022, in keeping with current public health guidelines.
Get Involved
Report
Each month, MWS administrative staff host coffee and tea for all parents, grandparents and other caregivers of our students. These mornings (or sometimes afternoons) are a time for parents to connect with old friends, meet someone new, talk about what is going on, and recharge with a quick cup of coffee.
