What Parents Say
Boulder Waldorf Kindergarten receives consistently high praise from parents who value its Waldorf philosophy emphasizing nature, imagination, and gentle care. Parents highlight the exceptional teachers, nurturing environment, and strong community, with many families returning for multiple children and maintaining friendships after graduation. The school's focus on outdoor play, animals, gardening, and natural materials creates a calm, enriching early childhood experience.
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.
Boulder Waldorf Preschool and Kindergarten is the BEST! Our family wasn't 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 haven't 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 can't recommend this school and the staff enough...our daughter is growing into a confident little person!
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.
BWK has been an incredibly solid foundation for our children's 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.
My attempts at describing my child's extraordinary experiences at BWK always fall a little short. It's 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.
