At Richmond Waldorf School, we take a different path—one that waits to introduce formal academics until 1st grade. And we’ve seen the results: confident, capable students who love learning. Our Early Childhood program fosters creativity, cooperation, and imagination. Focused creative play, rich storytelling, goal-oriented tasks, and healthy social interactions provide the foundation for future academic excellence and personal well-being, laying a foundation that is joyful, not forced. 🌟 #whywewait #richmondwaldorf
