- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book is a fantastic primer on the philosophy and practice of Waldorf Education. I often hear Waldorf mentioned in the same breath as Montessori, yet they are actually divergent methods of education. Waldorf's "head, heart, hands" core philosophy leads to the integration of the arts and crafts in the classroom and an eye toward developing a truly well-rounded individual. I am completely sold! I hope to send my future children to Waldorf schools.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book has been very helpful to me in "Understanding Waldorf Education". I look forward to the years ahead homeschooling my daughter in the method.
