Wondering About Waldorf?

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?
