We are a Waldorf Forest School and Kinderspa for children ages 3 to 6. Our Mission:
To behold space for the whole child to emerge and grow within community and with great regard for Mother Earth and all of her children. May the seeds planted here take root in the child and blossom in the world.
WM TEACHER”S VIRTUES: I-N-S-P-I-R-E
Inclusion: We celebrate everyone.
Now!: We are present and engaged with the task at heart and hand.
Sensory: We nourish optimal development with rhythm, warmth and the immersive experience.
Place Based: We honor the forest and commission her to animate our curriculum.
Imitation: We strive to be worthy of imitation in thought, word and deed.
Reverence: We take time to wonder and give thanks.
Evolve: We foster the evolution of creative consciousness.
WMS is created by Waldorf Teachers implementing a decolonized approach to the Waldorf early childhood experience. We acknowledge the Coast Salish land where we work, play and practice Immersive Nature Based Education that instills a life-long reciprocal relationship with the natural world. This program is for children ages 3-6 and is held on M/ T and W throughout the school year. Enrollment inquiries may be sent to Ms. Lindsay: wondermountainschool@gmail.com.
