“We came here because we believe childhood should be unhurried and screen-free. Westside Waldorf doesn’t just say that, it lives it, every single day.”

“I am so humbled and grateful for the care of the teachers at and the inner work they do to truly see each child. At every grade, my children’s teachers have truly gotten to know my children and supported us around their talents, strengths and challenges. What a gift.”

Kindergarten & First Grade parent
Parent Testimonials
“I thought the Parent-Child program was for my little one. I didn’t expect what it would give me — a morning each week to slow down, sing, bake bread, and be truly present. It changed how I mother, not just where my children learn.”
Maria House
Kindergarten & Parent-Child parent
Parent Testimonials
“On our very first tour, it immediately felt like home. Despite being on the other side of the world, I recognized the same warmth, rhythm and values that had shaped my own Waldorf childhood in Norway. We came for the education, but we found a community where our whole family belongs.”
