Waldorf, Montessori, Country Day, Public Education ...
I visit first-hand the schools within a small radius, preferably walking or biking distance, and make a gut-based, heart-led decision. I try my best to commit and reconsider only at proper intervals (moving into lower, middle, upper). I trust my decision, but not dogmatically.
Waldorf, Montessori & Reggio are the three progressive approaches to early childhood education, which appear to be growing in influence around the world.

All three approaches represent an explicit idealism and turn away from war and violence towards peace and reconstruction.
~
They are built on coherent visions of how to improve human society by helping children realize their full potential as intelligent, creative whole persons.

Instead of 'teaching' our children 'how the world is' and how to 'succeed' in that world, let's get out of their way and let them shape a new world.
