Joyful Work

Joyful Work

The Children's Garden was, as ever, hard at work this week.

In a Waldorf Early Childhood classroom, teachers participate with enthusiasm in the kind of purposeful work children can innately understand and naturally wish to imitate.

Food, Culture, Connection

Food, Connection, Culture

Sharing recipes and food is a wonderful and delicious vehicle for introducing children to more than just new flavors and textures; it can be a window into cultural diversity as well.

This week, the Butterfly Preschool Class enjoyed preparing and sampling a new-to-many condiment, mool kimchi, with Lead Teacher, WSB Parent and DEI co-chair, Jackie Beach.

Field Trips are Fundamental


Outdoor education is an essential part of Waldorf education.

Lasting Relationships


Do you have your middle school art teacher's phone number on speed dial?

If you graduated from any school other than the Waldorf School of Baltimore I am willing to wager the answer is no. But for hundreds of alums a text from Ms. Edna Emmet, anywhere from two to twenty years after your eighth grade graduation, is as natural as can be (a true testimony to Ms. Emmet and to Waldorf Education for providing students and teachers the space to develop meaningful and lasting relationships).

Grow Your Own Spring Grass


This spring, begin a new family tradition that will help make the world a little greener! Few things are as satisfying as planting seeds and watching them grow. Add an element of sustainably and zero-waste seasonal decorations and you have a Spring Time Slam-Dunk of a project. Growing grass indoors to adorn your Easter Basket or Seasonal Nature Table coundlt be simplier and takes just 7-10 days to see lush results.

Parent & Child Classes: January 8 - April 17, 2015

Parent & Child Classes

Parent & Child classes lay the building blocks for elementary school. Science and math are introduced as tools for the exploration of movement and the physical properties of the natural world through play. Reading is rooted in language acquisition and the development of a rich imagination. Writing begins with strengthening the small motor skills. The teacher gently guides the natural play and interaction of the class towards healthy acquisition of these important skills, while the children do the activities at their own pace and in their own style.
