Kindercare Learning Centers

My children both attend Eugene Waldorf School and I can’t tell you enough how deeply the teachers at this school care for each and every student. The teachers use the Waldorf understandings of child development to create their curriculum anew every year to best meet the needs of the individual children before them that year, so the education is always meeting the children where they are at. I also attended a Waldorf school myself through high school and can share that I still remember things I was taught in elementary school, because they were brought through stories and we did our own writing about whatever we were learning, which helps you digest and really integrate information. Math and science are learned through experiences, so the children can truly feel the concepts underlying what is being taught, as opposed to rote memorization. Because the class stays together each year children are forced to work through challenging social dynamics when they arise with a long term view.

I am writing this to PRAY that I can save someone from the horrendous experience my child had at this school. From her first day, the children in her class, especially the rich ones, shunned her due to how she looked. We were moving from somewhere where diversity was common, and since she didn’t fit the norm, she experienced a toned down form of racism from her fellow students at such a young age. Not to say parents are not at fault as well, they are just as judgmental as the children they are producing. Mental health is not taken seriously. As the years have gone by the school has become more and more artificial, modernized, and out of touch with the families and their core faith aspect. Barely any students here are Catholic, and the ones that are certainly don’t act with those values.Save your children and DO NOT go to this school.
