denver waldorf school kindergarten experiential october

Experience Kindergarten at The Denver Waldorf School

The Denver Waldorf ECE Program is structured to provide a gradual transition from the life of the home to the structure of an elementary school. Led by ECE Lead Teacher Krisztina van’t Veer, this experiential morning is open to prospective families who’d like a hands-on experience of our early childhood program.

Date: October 13, 2022

Time: 9-10am

Location: 2100 S. Pennsylvania St., Denver, CO 80210

Morning Schedule

The warm and simple rhythm of this experiential morning in our kindergarten guides children and their families through activities such as:

  • Bread baking
  • Storytelling through puppetry
  • Joyful play

Please note, this event is a hands-on experience and not a tour. Therefore, please contact Admissions Director Karlena Alonso Lamm if you’d like to learn more on our ECE program and the admissions process.

The Waldorf Approach to Education

In our classrooms, children gradually become accustomed to working within a group, listening to stories, interacting with a teacher and following a daily routine, while at the same time being supported in his or her development as an individual through the encouragement of creative play, practical life skills, and artistic opportunities.

Each teacher deeply understands the young child and the need for movement, as well as the child’s devotion to learning about the world through imitating everything he or she experiences. We follow seasonal rhythms and in parallel, honor your child’s gradual transition from home to school and childhood to adulthood.

In our 2nd grade language arts block, students don’t just learn about nouns, verbs, adjectives and sentence structure. Through stories of heroes and golden-hearted people, they also deepened their understanding of what it means to be a helper in the world. After writing about and illustrating their own personal hero, students shared their stories with classmates and even celebrated together at a special lunch with the heroes themselves.

Our hope is that the children leave this block not only with new writing skills, but also with a sense of security, connection, and trust in the goodness around them - nurturing both academic growth and emotional development together. Moreover, may they always carry the understanding that each of us can be a hero in someone else’s life!

When the rest of the high school is away, the 11th graders play.

To elevate the mood of the rainy Monday blues, the 11th graders turned their history of music class into a spontaneous jam session- rocking out to “Feeling Good” while the rest of the high school grades are away on field trips. In our Waldorf education, lessons come to life in every way imaginable- experiential learning sometimes looks like putting the books down and picking the instruments up. Today’s lesson is a good reminder that education is most memorable when students can make it their own 🎶.

A peek into our annual 5th Grade Pentathlon - a day full of fun, nobility, camaraderie, and community. While our students put forth great effort in achieving results in strength and speed, more important is their display of grace and form, striving not only for their individual self or city-state but for the good of all! After an opening ceremony complete with recitation of odes to gods, song, and eurythmy, they compete in the long run, discus, sprint, wrestling, long jump, and javelin!

Each year, the 5th grade studies Greek civilization, learning about the government, history, mythology, and culture. As a culmination of their studies, each spring the students participate in a Pentathlon, which is an athletic event based on the Ancient Greek games. As with all aspects of our curriculum, the event is designed to relate directly to the students’ learning and development, bringing relevancy and enthusiasm for their studies. It is always wonderful to see all the new friendships forming and the many displays of grace throughout the day. Thanks to @shiningmountainwaldorf @bouldervalleywaldorfschool @waldorfschoolontheroaringfork @northforkschool and the Wildflower Project Group for joining the games this year!
