PARENT EDUCATION
PARENT EDUCATION
Enrolling your child in a Waldorf school can lead to a world of discovery for you as well! Parents often have many questions about how they can better support their children and help them receive the most from their Waldorf education. Unlike some other schools, Waldorf boasts a thriving community that enriches, educates, and supports the whole family. CWS frequently brings in guest speakers on topics of interest to the entire community. By doing so, we connect our parents to the Waldorf curriculum and create a strong support system for the children. Waldorf schools also provide a thriving festival and community life in which families are warmly brought together and lifelong friendships are formed.
