✨ Family Spotlight ✨ Meet the Pass Family—it’s their first year at New Amsterdam School! We are so lucky to have them join the Willow Class. When we asked them what made them choose New Amsterdam School, here’s what they shared:

“As parents choosing a school for our firstborn Oliver, we feel so fortunate to have found our home away from home at New Amsterdam School. As a Waldorf school, we love that it focuses on nurturing creativity, imagination, and a deep connection to nature—values that resonate so much with our family. From the gentle rhythms of the day to the emphasis on play and hands-on learning, it feels like the perfect environment for him to grow and thrive.”

We are so grateful to have you in our community ❤️

Looking for a simple nature activity? Find a stick, some beautiful leaves, poke a hole in each, and string them together! Great for fine motor skills, counting, and connecting with nature. 🍂✨
