Introduction

I am a stay-at-home Mom of two kids, ages 2 and 4. I moved to CO in 2011, and when I found this community of people who wanted to start a Waldorf school, I jumped on the bandwagon!

What do you love about Waldorf Education?

I love that my child is not just forced to use rote memorization to pass state-mandated tests. Waldorf uses all the senses to teach children about the world around them, using music, art, and nature to teach them the things they need to know, as well as enriching their inner-spirits. Waldorf instills confidence by teaching my child that if she can set her mind to something, and works toward her goals, she can accomplish anything. I also love the bond teachers have with their students that is so rare in public school systems.

Do you have children living in Colorado Springs, and would you be interested in enrolling them in a FREE Waldorf Charter School?

Yes and YES!

Are you interested in helping develop Mountain Song Community School? If so, how? If not, that's ok, too! You can still join us for fun events.

I'm currently on the Charter Contract Committee, the Grant Writing/Development Committee, and the Fundraising/Events/Family Education Committee. I'm having a ball, and love that step-by-step we are reaching our ultimate goal to have a Waldorf school that is accessible to everyone! :)

  • Glad we both made it to the meetup last night, late or not! Anyway, if you want maybe we could carpool next week since we are on the same side of town. As of right now, I plan to go.

  • Entirely my pleasure. Mind you, the kids don't think I am all that "radical" but we both know they just don't understand.
