Wondering About Waldorf?

Monday, Oct. 6, 7-8:30 p.m.

Fellowship Hall at Eagle Harbor Congregational Church

Do you feel guilty when your kids eat a Happy Meal or watch a video? Do family members or friends wonder what on earth you are doing with your kids? In fact, for most families, The Waldorf Way offers more of a “do” list than a “don’t” list. To get a better sense of what’s “really Waldorf,” bring all your questions and concerns to an open session presented by Madrona teachers.

What can we do to de-stress and enrich our family life?

Is there room for questions and differing opinions?

Are non-pc snacks ok? Find out when we serve you treats on Monday!
