Are you looking for a different kind of education, rooted in a quality Steiner curriculum? Tikarol Waldorf School follows Waldorf education’s careful attention to rhythm, movement, story, handwork, nature, and age-appropriate learning, supporting children to think clearly and independently while allowing them to live their childhood fully. Through a steady half-day rhythm in a simple, natural environment, children come home without being drained at the end of each day. Our school community is shaped by care for the land, environmental responsibility, and practical stewardship.

A day worth celebrating!

We started the morning with meditation by to set us up for a mindful weekend.

We then removed 3.5 sacks of waste from the river and its banks, a big improvement over last week’s 12! We seem to be making progress as we are getting to older rubbish (ie old clothes under layers of leaves). Some newer trash of course as many people cool off in the water for summer, but folks around here are generally conscientious about their waste!

Afterwards, we shared a delicious home cooked birthday feast for prepared by and her lovely father.

How lucky we are to have this nature and community around us!

Learning often begins with the earth itself, through the quiet rhythms of planting, tending, and finally gathering what has grown. During our recent harvest activity, the students had the chance to collect Kabog (Philippine Millet) and Kadyos/Tabios (Pigeon Peas), experiencing firsthand how nature responds to care and patience.

Waldorf education values meaningful work, allowing children to use their hands, hearts, and senses as part of the learning process. Harvesting gives them a deeper understanding of where food comes from and how the land supports life, while also nurturing responsibility, cooperation, and gratitude.

In moments like this, the children discover that learning is not only found in books or classrooms, it lives in the fields, in the soil, in the small tasks that teach big lessons. These experiences help them grow with confidence, curiosity, and a genuine connection to the world around them.

This is the spirit of Tikarol: an environment where childhood connects naturally with the land, and where every experience, big or small, becomes a foundation for lifelong learning.

Storytelling is not just an activity. It is a gentle path through which children meet the world. A story offers rhythm, comfort, and warmth, inviting each child to listen deeply and imagine freely. It allows them to slow down, breathe, and enter a space where learning feels natural and alive.

As the story unfolds, you’ll see how a simple tale becomes a full sensory experience. The tone of voice, the pauses, and the calm presence create an atmosphere where children feel safe to wonder, connect, and picture the world in new ways. This is the heart of Waldorf education: learning that begins with human connection.

Every story we tell becomes a seed, one that grows into curiosity, compassion, and inner confidence. At Tikarol, we treasure these quiet moments, knowing they help build a foundation not just for learning, but for life.

Here, stories are not just heard; they are felt, lived, and carried gently into the child’s inner world.

Come and glimpse how stories shape the soul of our classroom.
