We did it! 🎉 Thanks to our incredible community of donors, we reached our Annual Fund goal. Every gift made helped us cross the finish line, and we are deeply grateful to each of you who contributed. There is still a meaningful way to make an impact— a generous donor has stepped forward with a challenge: the next $500 in donations made before midnight tonight (June 30) will be matched one for one! Every dollar raised beyond our goal will go to our Legacy Fund, enhancing our play spaces for our students now and for years to come. Double your gift, donate today at www.richmondwaldorf.com/annual-fund ! 🩷

Our fiscal year closes on June 30—and we are so close to reaching our Annual Fund goal. If you haven’t made a gift yet—or if you’re able to give a little more—this is the time. Every dollar supports faculty development, classroom resources, and continued program growth. Last year, we were able to exceed our goal and invest $10k to the Legacy Fund. This spring we installed a new playhouse with funds from the Robins Foundation and with our Legacy Fund, added even more beautiful equipment on the Early Childhood playground. Just like last year, any gifts beyond our goal will go directly to the Legacy Fund, enhancing where our students play. Let’s finish strong— make your gift today and help us cross the finish line! 🩷🎉 Donate online at www.richmondwaldorf.com/annual-fund

Learning through play isn’t just preparation—it’s preservation. By allowing children to explore, imagine, and create in the early years, we honor their natural curiosity and protect the wonder of childhood. 🌿🧸✨ Why rush growing up when learning can be joyful every step of the way? #learningthroughplay #earlychildhoodeducation #childhoodunplugged #playbasedlearning #joyfullearning #nurturingcuriosity #waldorfeducation #letthembelittle #richmondva
