Our children will be the leaders of tomorrow. They need an education that preserves and strengthens precious assets like their youthful energy and vitality.
In the original sense of the word, genius is a guiding, inspiring principle that is accessible, if we will, to every human being. The source of strength and guidance is not concerned with special abilities but with the whole person & An education works either to close or to open the channel between a child and his or her genius & Genius was once an intuitively perceived reality: the protective and guiding spirit that gave each person prepared to receive it the wisdom, or love, or power for good deeds on Earth. A persons genius was a higher self that could be called upon to infuse life with values transcending personal limits. Genius, says the Oxford University Dictionary, stating the ancient view, is a tutelary god or attendant spirit, allotted to every person at birth to preside over destiny in life.
(John Gardner, Education in Search of the Spirit)

How confusing and sad that in schools today, the progressive as well as the traditional, this term has come to mean something entirely different, some special privilege no longer available to all. From a spiritual perspective all children have genius. This premise raises an important question: How do we nurture and protect the child's genius?

With this Group i would like to start a Waldorf education platform with the intent to plant & Grow a Waldorf seed in Las Vegas. Everybody interested in a Waldorf and or alternative approach to education is welcomed to join. This group can grow into exactly what all members are willing to put in.

I am not a Waldorf teacher, but as a Waldorf child I experienced Anthroposophy from day one.  I enjoyed Waldorf Kindergarten and high school in Germany and I now know how much I gained spiritually and as a human being from this experience. I want nothing less for my child.

WHAT IS WALDORF EDUCATION?

Waldorf or Rudolf Steiner education is based on an   anthroposophical  view  and understanding of the human being, that is, as a being of body, soul and spirit. The education mirrors the basic stages of a child's development from childhood to adulthood, which in general reflects the development of humanity through history from our origin, far back in past times up to the present.
