Riverwood Community School is a private K-8 school dedicated to giving our students an authentic education inspired by Waldorf Education. Here at Riverwood we know how important movement and purposeful work is to the intellectual development of your child. These early years lay the foundation for the rest of your child's academic life. This is why we are committed to a pedagogy based on movement,
art, imagination, and play, which allows your child to reach their full potential. The Waldorf Kindergarten serves your child from age 4-6 in a mixed age classroom that allows them to experience the Rhythm of the Year at each age. The security and steadiness that the deep internal knowledge of the seasons the child experiences from this time is invaluable to their development. This is something that is often unattainable in our modern and detached society. Our teachers are also better able to serve your individual child because they've watched him/her grow from a small dreamy creature into a sturdy human being ready to greet the world of academic endeavor. Kindergarten teachers watch closely for markers of 1st grade readiness and work with your child's movement needs to address any problem areas we find. This attention to neurological development is unseen and unknown by the child. Please feel free to contact our admissions team to discuss application procedures or ask for resources to learn more about this enriching and complete form of education. We look forward to serving your family throughout the years.
