Testimonials
Tacoma Waldorf has just what my family was looking for. This is a place where the individual spirit of my child is recognized and valued. Art, music and movement are incorporated into virtually every area of the rich curriculum, creating a lively environment for learning. I am excited to have my children in a school that values art, relationships, creative thinking and the natural world. Here children are guided on their own path toward self-knowledge and clear thinking. Our whole family enjoys a wonderful sense of community at this school.
Kathleen Brooks, Waldorf parent for 8 years
Waldorf education is simply beautiful and exemplifies the true definition of “education”. I love that my son wants to go to school every day, that he is learning and loving it, that the teachers are amazing at their job, and that our family is a part of a community that supports and embraces each other. I am grateful that we found Tacoma Waldorf School and look forward to the relationship we will have as my son moves up through the grades and on into his life.
Kim, Waldorf parent for 6 years
The Tacoma Waldorf School has provided my son a safe and nurturing atmosphere to grow and learn. With all that society exposes to our children, I feel comforted knowing he is well cared for during the day. Compassion and social skills are as much a part of the curriculum as is math, science, music and art. Lessons that will truly last a lifetime.
Rena, Waldorf parent for 9 years
As a teacher and a parent at the Tacoma Waldorf School I know first hand the joy and excitement of learning the children experience here. I watch the light of confidence shine in the eyes of our children as they experience the joy of learning about themselves and the world we live in. It fills my heart to know that my own children will receive the gifts of a nurturing Waldorf education. Waldorf Education aspires to meet each child for their unique qualities and learning styles. It is an education that honors a respect for humanity and the natural world in which we live. It is a blessing that our school is such a warm and caring community, a place where I feel honored to belong!
Rebecca, Waldorf Teacher and Mother of Preschool and 1st Grade sons
Tacoma Waldorf School creates a space which embraces a child in their growth and development. Our daughter has always been celebrated for who she is yet encouraged to challenge her awakening development in a gentle and firmly guided manner by the faculty. The school goes beyond providing academic lessons, it is also a community in which a child and their family can grow and experience the true meaning of living in a "village". It is a place where our family has felt embraced and challenged to grow and where we feel assured that our daughter will thrive and be able to move into the adult world with a strong foundation and understanding of herself and community, a love of learning and the ability to meet challenges with grace.

The foundation for the rest of a child's education begins in early years. We chose to send our son to the Tacoma Waldorf School because we care about that foundation. We want our child to have a solid foundation to stand on as things begin to change in and around him. This foundation should let his heart sing, make his eye's smile with curiosity, have him long for more knowledge, put trust in others, and allow him to celebrate the world around him.We have seen such great things from our son since he has been at Waldorf. There have been so many great memories just from our one year at the school. We have noticed our son seems so much more grounded and confidant. The best thing I find about Tacoma Waldorf is the feeling of community between students, parents, and teachers. I have never felt pressured to do more than I can to help but I always feel like I want to do more. My husband and I are watching our son get an education we wished we had had.

Friends and strangers sometimes ask my husband and I what we have done to teach our kids to be respectful of others and things and why they are so “well-behaved”. We have to attribute a lot of it to the caring and nurturing teachers at TWS. All the children are taught respect for their peers and adults, as well as all things in nature. The teachers observe and know so much about each individual child, and what aspects might be brought out in them, or worked on to shape them for their future as contributing and successful adults. TWS is teaching my children to love learning, how to navigate and work with all kinds of people, and the teachers give them a wonderful sense of security that will follow them into adulthood.
Carrie, Waldorf parent for 7 years
This blossoming school is a wonderful addition to the Tacoma area. They started out as only a preschool but have been steadily growing into a full-fledged grade school that teaches kids more than just the academic basics, but how to love learning, respect each other and have a reverence for nature. Our two kids love it and wake up each morning anxious to go to school!
Cassie and Tim, Waldorf parents for 4 years
This is so much more than a school! It embraces the old adage “It takes a whole village to raise a child”. My family loves the curriculum, teachers, and community. It is a place that allows children to be children and at the same time teaches them all the academics they need to be successful life long learners.
