Detroit Waldorf School’s It Takes a Village Parent Education Series
This lecture series offers parents a chance to unite in raising healthy children

Join us for: “Waldorf 101” Wednesday, March 7th @ 6pm

“Waldorf 101” is an informative lecture designed to introduce Metro Detroit parents to Waldorf education, one of the world’s fastest-growing educational models. Conducted by Carol Triggiano of the Chicago Waldorf School, “Waldorf 101” is a free seminar on the Waldorf approach to child development and education, an innovative methodology that integrates comprehensive, age-appropriate academics with rich artistic experiences and practical work. Triggiano will provide an overview of the Waldorf curriculum from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade, demonstrating how Waldorf’s developmental approach prepares a child to meet the future with confidence, self-direction and purpose and awakens in students a lifelong love of learning.
