Reviews about Da Vinci Waldorf School

  I can't say enough good things about Da Vinci Waldorf School for my 4 year old preschool child and for my 2 year old on the parent-child class. We've finally found a place that emphasizes the teaching of our child's whole being (and not just his mind).
  
  What makes Waldorf so special and beneficial for my child is that he spends a lot of time playing outside on the playground and in nature with his classmates and the teachers every day. This creates so many opportunities for them to learn while doing and being! For those with active boys and girls, this experiential, hands-on learning is priceless and it calms them and allows them to focus much better during structured learning time.
  
  Every preschool or kindergarten we looked at placed so much emphasis on just the mind and mental aspect of learning without enough time for play (no, 15-20 minutes a day of play/movement is not enough to keep kids engaged all day). The play with other kids is where my son integrates and tests what he is learning in the class.
  
  Times have obviously changed quite a bit with earlier emphasis on reading and writing and structured activities dominating the teaching agenda. Without keeping kids active and letting them master their bodily movements, the mental learning becomes lopsided.
  
  If you are looking to give your child every advantage by lighting the fuse of her imagination and having her coordinated and comfortable in her own skin, then send them to Da Vinci Waldorf preschool or grade school for a year. You will notice a difference on how they think for themselves and approach the greater world.
  
  A little background on me for perspective on this review: I was a very active child and, growing up in the 70's and 80's I had a lot of unstructured time outside (as most of us did). As the owner of a very hi-tech business, I look back and attribute my active play with how I problem solve and creatively grow the business today. It also allowed me to excel in school because I had a proper outlet for all of my energy. I want the same advantage/balance for my children.
