Our Story
A Century of Waldorf Education
Boulder Waldorf Kindergarten & Preschool is part of the international Waldorf education movement, founded in 1919 by the Austrian philosopher, educator, and scientist Rudolf Steiner. The Waldorf curriculum is based on principles of child development and endeavors to nourish all aspects of the human being. The integration of arts and sciences encourages wholeness in perspective and creative thought in action. More than 900 Waldorf schools in 80 countries make it one of the largest independent educational movements in the world.
A Farm That Grew with the School
Our farm started with the inception of the school and has grown with it ever since. Helping care for our goats and observing the chickens along with working the organic garden and eating the vegetables brings each child close to the processes of life. We farm biodynamically, which is an organic, holistic practice developed by Rudolf Steiner himself. The children are part of the balance created here. Their enthusiasm for seeing the plants and animals grow feeds the livelihood of the farm as a whole.
