Waldorf Education:
Waldorf schools offer a developmentally appropriate, experiential approach to education. They integrate the arts and academics for children from preschool through twelfth grade. Waldorf Education aims to inspire life-long learning in all students and to enable them to fully develop their unique capacities. Founded in the early 20th century, Waldorf Education is based on the insights, teachings and principles of education outlined by the world renowned anthroposophist, artist, and scientist, Rudolf Steiner. The principles of Waldorf Education evolve from a profound understanding of human development that address the needs of the growing child. These principles inspire and guide teachers, administrators, trustees and parents today.
History:
A group of educators, artists, and professionals, inspired by the dream of creating an educational environment that was both spiritually enriching and holistic in approach, founded the Enchanted Desert Playgarden, a Waldorf-inspired kindergarten, in August of 1993. The kindergarten was developed on a solid foundation based on many years of individual and group study by those drawn together through their shared interest in the works of Rudolph Steiner. In the two years prior to the school's opening, many individuals invested tremendous time and effort to ensure the school's success.
