An interesting overview of the philosophies underlying the Waldorf approach to early childhood education. As we start to plan for the summer, I'm looking for a reminder about the key practices that I'm aiming to keep going at home. Not earth-shattering for those who are already in this educational context, but a nice explanation for newcomers plus some interesting profiles of Waldorf kindergartens around the world.
