We’re part of this kindergarten since 2017 and by now our 3rd child is currently enrolled there! We absolutely love this school. The teachers and director are doing such wonderful work and we feel very happy to be part of the community.During this special times right now I even appreciate it more that my child is in a safe and loved environment.

Boulder Waldorf Preschool and Kindergarten is the BEST! Our family wasnt familiar with Waldorf until our daughter started this past fall during the COVID outbreak. The teachers are supportive, caring, good natured individuals who use nature and simplicity to inspire the children. We havent seen much of the inside classrooms but the glimpses we have seen show a calm classroom with beautiful, natural materials and colors. This has been an exceptionally challenging time with the global pandemic but the school administration has been clear with its directions and very informative when action needs to be taken. I cant recommend this school and the staff enough...our daughter is growing into a confident little person!

Our oldest child began attending BWK at the beginning of 2018, and her younger sister joined the toddler class the following summer. Both have had a wonderful experience at this beautifully rustic school, and we are grateful for the creative and safe space held lovingly by all the teachers that we have known. The current pandemic has surely put a lot of stress on the owner, director, and everyone working at the school, but it is evident to our family that they are doing their very best to continue to make BWK a magical place.

BWK has been an incredibly solid foundation for our childrens early childhood experience. The teachers are unbelievable and what they provide for our children in terms of care and nurturing is unparalleled. Our family has spent almost 8 years there and all of them have been amazing.

This was my first experience with a Waldorf school and I have to say that despite initially positive impressions, it was ultimately very disappointing.The physical environment is very nice, but unfortunately the staff and especially the management, do not seem to have the capability or interest in working through interpersonal issues that arise among the children. Instead they prefer to take a CYA approach of excluding (including suspending) children whose behavior they deem inappropriate. We experienced this first-hand and heard from other parents whose children were subjected to same treatment in response to their childrens language at school.Upon researching the history and philosophy of Waldorf it seems that they have a lot of work to do to adopt modern research based early education practices into their curriculum and distance themselves from some of the the founders antiquated and controversial philosophies.

My favorite things about this school are the daily rhythm and routine that my son has come to love and depend on. He loves the storytime which includes the use of puppets, and is repeated for a week so he remembers them and can retell them to me. He is a very active boy, and the outdoor time is essential and the play yard and all its space is one of his favorite places to be. He gets to visit the goats and the chickens and feed them, tend to the garden and help harvest veggies that go into their veggie soup with his teacher. And he absolutely love his teacher, Miss Angie, and Miss Sam. He feels secure and loved by her which warms my heart and makes for a pretty quick transition to school every day.The parents in this school are invested and care about preserving childhood just as much as we do so it is great to share those common views!

BWK is the most magical, sacred and beautiful place for a little one to explore! The teachers are so grounded, loving and present with all of the children. Their knowledge of child development, combined with compassion and experience, supports both the child and the parent in having a profoundly nourishing, safe and playful time. We especially love the connection to the natural world, the animals and creatures, things that grow, things that live. It has been a dream to be here! Thank you, BWK!

My attempts at describing my childs extraordinary experiences at BWK always fall a little short. Its hard to grasp just how much attention, delicate discipline and spiritual guidance the teachers are able to dole out day after day. The dedication and outpouring of love is priceless. The only problem for me, as a parent, is after my son graduates, BWK is a tough act to follow. My standards are so high now that I have seen what a school can offer.

BWK has been a nurturing and beautiful environment for our 5 year old to spend her pre-school years. She has gained the confidence to be herself, love others and has learned kindness and curiosity from her time at BWK. We are grateful for her experience at BWK and know they will forever enrich her life.

After two years of preschool at Boulder Waldorf Kindergarten (BWK), my son is heading off to BVSD Kindergarten as a grounded, caring, and kind young boy who has a sense of wonder about the world around him and a deep love of nature. I can say without a doubt that the wonderful staff of BWK has helped foster these qualities in him. As an additional testimonial to our satisfaction with BWK, our second child will start preschool there this fall.

Amazing school!

My daughter and I have been forever imprinted, enriched and blessed by our four years at BWK, including summer camp. Initially, this kindergarten was a solution for quality childcare as I returned to work, but as time went on it became our community within Boulder. We still maintain close relationships with other parents and children from those beloved days. In fact, some of our closest friends were made during our time there. My highly sensitive child was lovingly welcomed and developed a part of her personhood via the gentleness and caring of its teachers and founders. Her experiences of play (much of it outdoors and with toys from days of olde), care of gardens & goats, chickens & rabbits, and emphasis on nature, rhythm and stories, deeply enriched her young life. We both miss being in that beautiful space. I am forever grateful for her (and my) experiences at this heart-centered place and highly recommend it to anyone consciously seeking a rich experience for children.

Our children have attended Boulder Waldorf Kindergarten since 2011 and we truly love it. In a town filled with wonderful preschools, BWK is a shining star. The love, attention, and quality of care our girls have received has surpassed our greatest expectations. We see their imaginations, sense of self, love of animals, and compassion toward others develop through the setting and curriculum BWK offers. The owners and teachers at BWK have had a wonderful impact on our childrens development. We give BWK our highest recommendation.
