About this event

The Waldorf Approach to Literacy

Join us on Wednesday, November 4th at 6:30 p.m. for our free workshop, The Waldorf Approach to Literacy, led by our Pedagogical Director, Judy Taylor. This special event is designed for both currently enrolled and Waldorf-curious families looking to discover how storytelling, art, and movement build a solid foundation for reading and writing.

In this workshop, we will trace the Waldorf language arts curriculum from pre-literacy in the nursery through the original composition and research that happens in 8th grade.
