If you are looking for support and information on home and/or un-schooling based on a Waldorf Inspired Curriculum, you have come to the right place! Please, make yourself a cup of tea and enjoy our site! As parents, you can provide nothing of more lasting value than an education which develops your child’s full human potential. Waldorf ideals for education emphasize and awaken disciplined creativity, wonder, reverence and respect for nature and human existence. Waldorf methods have proven to offer a holistic educational model designed to provide the right stimulus at the right time and allow each child’s abilities to fully unfold.

In the first seven years of life, the child seeks to see that the world is a place of goodness, and will learn primarily by imitation and through activity. In the next developmental phase (through puberty) the child most naturally learns through beauty, from adults who merit being authorities. (This is why storytelling and art are employed as teaching vehicles throughout the elementary curriculum.) Finally, entering into the third developmental stage, and ready at last for true independent thinking: the teenager naturally begins a quest for truth.

PS – The video you just watched (above) is different than the video to the right under the heading: “Mission & Purpose”. These videos are my gift to you. They are all throughout the site, and are all meant to inspire you and get you into the correct mindset for your parenting journey!

It has happened to all of us at one time or another: our child does “one of those things” that absolutely drives us crazy, and we wonder why?

Perhaps it was to stand at the head of the class on that first day of school and blatantly challenge the teacher. Perhaps we struggled in the kitchen for two hours preparing his favorite food only to get a reaction of crying at the table. We stand back puzzled and wonder if there is something wrong with our child.
When we discuss this with other parents we discover that they too share this dilemma. Is it a children’s conspiracy to drive us crazy, or as Bill Cosby comically refers to it, is it “brain damage”? Whatever it is, they have it and they are making us catch it in the process!

What we are witnessing is a natural unveiling of both the child’s individuality and inherited nature. Beginning to show itself between the ages of five to seven and then more clearly between the seventh and fourteenth year, it is the building block of your child’s behavior for all later years. It is not craziness, conspiracy, or brain damage. It is not a defiant act or pure rebellion. It is not happening only to you or your child. It is happening everywhere, to everyone. What we are dealing with here is your child’s temperament. Read the rest of this entry »

Kytka’s Reviews: Spiritual Syllabus & Golden Beetle Books: Geneii of Language

Geneii of Language (was curriculum/math stories)

From the Prologue, “The miracle of words calls on the ego forces of the writer, speaker/listener, and reader – it calls on the Self. The potential in children for self-expression is enhanced by a comprehensive, consistent, and creative language education – this small manual is directed to these high ends.”

Like most of the Golden Beetles, the Geneii of Language is a small booklet, about 90 pages and about 5″ x 7′. It focuses on the language arts main lessons and middle lessons for the first and second grades. Read the rest of this entry »

Ask Kytka Archives: March 6, 2003
Are you associated with AWSNA

Q. Dear Kytka, I have just found your web site and it is quite good. I am a trained Waldorf teacher of many years experience currently living in Oklahoma where there are no Waldorf schools. I know many parents here are interested in homeschooling their children and your site may be a very good resource. My question is: What is your relationship to AWSNA? I understand they are very careful with the word Waldorf and I wonder how they relate to your work. I’ve surfed through the questions you’ve answered and the statements you make seem to be accurate, so far. But in skimming your biography…
