I want to work here! (Teacher in the UK)
Thank you so much, this is very helpful <3
I have a very bright one year old and have been needing a clearer vision for our home rhythm. This is wonderfully practical guidance. Thank you!
Wonderful ! Highly recommend this sound education for children !
So beautiful I wish all kids could go to a school like this
I am so grateful for these videos/teachings. My son is now 9 yrs old, and I so wish I could go backward and do things differently. Don't we all at some point...
This is the kind of life I had lived in my hometown..
I am a teacher too and I have been doing all this with my kids especially special kids loves songs and they tend to listen if we r in a rhythm
I’ve just become a big fan ❤❤
beautiful teachings... i wish public schools would teach teachers how to teach this. this is teaching that is natural not forced.
Good Rhythms in everyday life strengthens the life-forces vitality part, which is very helpful for the whole organism and soul/spirit, and lessens the risks of falling prey to addictions, which are stress-and trauma-related.(Developmental trauma) Pediatricians will hardly know nutrition therapy, can run allergy tests.
im 33 and i was crying because i did like my conventional preschool but i was such a hypersensitive child i suffered there. i have RSD and conventional preschool was so intimidating for me i really wish there were alternatives like this when i was small. im glad that children nowadays have this opportunity
Where do you get the colorful beeswax?
❤❤❤

Thank you for your briliant advice and knowledge
We are naturally wired for mathematics - mathematics, music, architecture and even love (friendship and community) are intimately wired into mathematics. czcams.com/video/qr1kAj3t8mc/video.html
0:43 can somebody PLEASE HELP ME ! urgent! I am an alienated grandparent (My Grandaughter & I were SO close in such a strong bond in instant instant she fell off the face of the Earth and they took all communication away and they are abusing her and I can't do anything about it Grandparents Zero RIGHTS and my granddaughter is in third grade but yet still being caged in her home and isolated homeschooling herself because the parents are so abusive they have to keep her away from other people in order to abuse her and neglect her !!! At what age should a child enter public school so she can escape her captors her own abusive parents please help me and if there's a certain age what excuse are they using for my abused granddaughter that she can't sit still omg if she went to school the teachers would be fighting over her she is so eager and desperate to get out and go to school and be a child and actually see another child . I I've witnessed her a few times when she put the phone down as we were video chatting and her mother comes down puts a video in that I guess he's supposed to learn and says when this is over come get me and she also sets an alarm to remind her to feed my grandchild and every time the alarm goes off she sits there and wait and intended Lee goes upstairs and says mommy the alarm went off and I'm hungry
I'm a teacher of this age and she is like a Yoda of Early Years psychology
Where did you get the playframes? I love this idea!
P R O M O S M
Love this
Beautiful! ❤
Thank you so much. Very helpful . Blessing from New Zealand.
This reminds me of my home country, I grew up without the fancy stuff and a lot of nature, fruit trees in our housing, playing with dirt ant sticks, building houses, we used our imagination I work at a daycare and it is so different, there’s a ton of regulations and stuff
Thank you so much for sharing such a lovely learning environment. Would you share how you make the beeswax? I have been trying to make them for my children but either beeswax or soy wax is not kneadable. Thank you so much!
Does the Waldorf methodology exist for high school? with students from 14 to 18 years old?
I’ve been researching all the educational methods. So far Montessori , Waldorf , and Reggio are the methods I like the most. I don’t know which one I love more
To never use no, I feel, that is a disservice to the child. And does not teach good boundaries.
🤔 I'd like to see all this in action for the full day. Lol. But I know the rhythm and resonance do work most of the time. Diet & personality do come into play and establish boundaries for each unique child. Thank you for this help!
I grew up going to a Waldorf school from kindergarten to eight grade, and it is such a home. Going to school everyday was so calming, the way everyone approaches each other, the music, the atmosphere, the art, it truly is amazing Waldorf. Growing up in a place surrounded by nature and community and being raised to appreciate others at such a high level in a sense of unity is a great way to grow up.
This is a cult. Be aware.
Very interesting and beautiful to see how other Waldorf/Steinerschools are in other countries. .My daughter is almost 3 years old and started a few months ago in kindergarten wich is here in Belgium integrated in the primary school. But at her current school she dont have a good connection with her 3 teachers and the classes are so big. She is developing not good and she even said many times that she dont want to go to school. So I started my journey to look for another school and on my path came the Steinerschool (in other countries named Waldorfschool) and at 27 february 2023 she will start in her new school. I am really excited and happy and I hope my daughter will be happy too. Btw you have really a wonderful school in a beautiful Environment♥️ love and respect from a Dutch 🇳🇱mother currently living in Belgium 🇧🇪
A nice looking cult.I wish parents knew more about this «kindergarden/school».It’s all about Rudolf Steiner.Please read!Educate yourself!
Thank you for sharing these incredible words. I whole heartedly agree with everything said here.
How does yogurt effect a child? My children eat a lot of Greek yogurt.
This was so inspiring. I am just getting into ECE, where is the best place to get training in these methods? Any resources or books are greatly appreciated. Thanks for sharing 😊
This video is so inspiring! thank you very much .
I don’t have kids but if I do some day this is exactly how I’d want their education to be
That was a Wonderfull video and speach
What a beautiful environment!
Ewww. Did you know pink takes energy from people? That's why prisons are often painted off pink.
I love it so much, many thank you!
I am considering between Montessori and Waldorf and this video was very helpful.
I don't understand why a hippie school would be so expensive
All these different teaching methods are amazing. I'm researching all of it if I ever have a child
Reggio Emilia is the best learning approach for preschool and kindergarten since the kids have the most freedom and can play and make art.
This is a very good video, may I download and share it in China?
My son is very drawn to you. He usually ignores the videos I watch on my computer but he came over and sat in my lap. He liked your pentatonic scale. I sing almost all instructions to him, but he really liked your song. I'll try it next time its time to do something <3 Thank you.
Thank u for this video.
Thanks for this! Any advice for me? My son just turned two and is asserting his independence by not listening. The hard part is is that he is in a phase where he doesn't like when my husband or I sing. So the singing will make him more upset at the moment. Also, he doesn't have many words yet so it is hard for him to tell us how he is feeling. Thank you!
