🌳 Rooted in Community 🌳
Learn more about Waldorf education, and discover how we nurture children’s connection to the seasons, the soil, and the world around them. Grades PK-7 💚

In Waldorf education, farming, gardening, cooking, and working with our hands are not simply activities—they are ways of helping children develop reverence, responsibility, and a sense of belonging.💫

Like a garden, a community flourishes when we tend it together. 🌻

Come find us at the Encino Farmer’s market—we’d love to meet you! 🌱🌱🌱

Feeding the chickens, gathering eggs, tending their space, and simply observing them invite children into a meaningful relationship with the natural world. Through these small daily acts of care, children cultivate responsibility and empathy. 🌟

Learning happens not only through books and lessons, but through the hands 🌷, the heart 💛, and the living world around us 🌍.

Summer Camp is always special! One reason is that we have the whole beautiful campus to ourselves! 🌿☀️

The days are filled with creating, exploring, playing, and making new friends. This year, we built rockets 🚀 and shooting-star tossing balls ⭐️, painted underwater worlds, habitats, and outer space scenes with watercolors 🎨, made plaster stepping stones, planted, and enjoyed lots of water play. 💦

So many fun moments and memories made! We’re already looking forward to doing it all again next summer! 💛✨

In Waldorf Kindergarten, painting is an invitation to experience color and movement. Rather than directing the outcome, we allow the colors and the experience itself to lead. Through this living artistic process, children cultivate imagination and more.
