OK2020TTWS010 honey bee.jpg — Citizens of the world.

We encourage people of all ages to find strength and confidence within themselves, faith in those around them and beauty in the greater world. The fabric of our world is woven by the interactions of nature, families, and of communities. Through the exploration of ourselves, the natural world, and action within our local community, we learn how to understand the world in a larger context.
By spreading the strength, beauty, and faith in the individual, we bring trust, beauty, and cooperation to the world. We achieve this by providing developmentally appropriate curriculum which strengthens the thinking and feeling of each individual sending them forth with the deep internal belief that they can be the change they want to see in the world.

Elves’ Workshop

The Elves’ Workshop is a time in early December to gather, be playful, and to honor the spirit of Waldorf, which radiates from the light inside all of us and calls us all to share that light with others. Elves’ Workshop is an experience not to miss.
