ABOUT OUR ECE PROGRAM

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.

On this week’s podcast episode, we turned over the mic to four seniors at The Denver Waldorf High School! In this candid conversation, these students share their perspectives on being well-prepared and well-supported to thrive in college and beyond. With Coen describing DWS high school as “the best years of my education by leaps and bounds,” this discussion covers everything from the unique structure of our high school honors curriculum, to their feelings going through the college application process, to the lessons they will take forward from their time at DWS. We are grateful for these four students for sharing their wisdom and experiences 🌟. You can listen to the whole episode on Spotify or wherever you like to podcast.
A new spring season of our much loved Sweet Peas parent-tot program is almost here - register to join either our Wednesday or Saturday morning sessions! Sweet Peas is an eight week session for parents and/or caregivers and children 12 months to 2.5 years old to experience Waldorf. The warm and simple rhythm guides children and their families through activities such as bread baking, sharing songs and puppet plays, taking time for self care, and of course, play! Parents will have the opportunity to join in discussion around child development, rhythm and family life, and embark in seasonal crafting.

Also, new this year, we are glad to offer Buttercup caregiver/infant classes! This class is for birth to crawlers. We will spend the morning having tea, observing the sweet babies, and discussing developmental phases, nutrition & wellness, sleep, siblings, and most importantly create a supportive community together.

Comment “Sweet Peas” or “Buttercup” for a direct link to register.
Yes, our students have two recesses! In addition to starting our mornings under the open skies with a jump rope or lap around the field, our elementary and middle school students all heed that call for time outside TWICE a day (in every season, and all kinds of weather). Free play in the outdoors is a breath out for our students after taking in an academic lesson - giving room for movement to keep our students engaged and ready to learn. We are always grateful to be able to soak in the many benefits that nature provides for social, emotional, physical, and academic development. Made even better when we have a snowy wonderland ❄️
Music unites us at a heart level. It reminds us of our human connection to one another - having to listen to each other, play our part, and come together in harmony. 

This week, we were so grateful to have been able to experience music with our grades 3 through 12 all together. The students offered this concert under the theme of “Singing the World We Long For,” singing songs to remind us of the power of music to bring hope, courage, and connection to our lives. With singing, recorders, and flute playing - we made community. This is just one of the many reasons that music is a part of our curriculum for all grades 🎶! // audio of our 7th and 8th grade choir singing “Give Us Hope”

A 30-second highlight of our school-wide Variety Show! It’s always an incredible evening filled with entertainment, awe, and camaraderie. Watching each act take the stage reminds us not only of the immense courage and creativity within our community, but also the positivity, belonging, and heart shared among our K–12 students.

It is truly a unique gift we share as a small school - to gather across all grade levels, celebrate one another, and create lasting memories together as one community.

Much gratitude to our high school teachers Adam Newman and Eric Mills for making it all happen, and to our high school students who ran the show with much care and a steady flow of popcorn 🍿. We count ourselves lucky to be surrounded by such a supportive and loving community!
Sometimes the love of the game brings you a League Championship to show for it 🏆🌟! From missed shots…to the makes…to putting your whole self on the court and never giving up - this is the joy of sport. We couldn’t be more proud of our Spartans for their teamwork, growth, and enthusiasm this season. The journey continues to Regionals 👏! DWS is hosting so stay tuned for the game schedule 📣
Come cheer on our Boys Varsity Spartans as they face off against Denver Jewish Day School in the League Championship game TODAY at 6:30 PM in the DWS Gym! 🏆 Free admission and free pizza too for Spartans fans 👏.

It’s time to pack the stands and bring the energy! Your cheers, your spirit, and your encouragement make all the difference. There’s nothing like the power of our community showing up for one another. Go Spartans 🌟!
What if math began with story? In our Waldorf classroom, Percy Plus, Mini Minus, Timy Times, and Dove Divide introduce our first graders to the four operations through imagination and narrative. When learning feels alive, children engage deeply - building confidence, understanding, and joy along the way. // chalk drawing by Ms. Nelly
