There is an incredible level of focus on each individual, and the teachers and philosophy do an amazing job meeting each child's needs. What drew us to Waldorf education was it's strong focus on building the whole child, and a huge component of this is character and world citizenship. The teachers at WIWS are absolutely incredible; far and away it's best asset. We are also impressed with the ongoing education opportunities available to parents and the community. The community is warm and vibrant. The setting is stunning. We love our little school in the woods!

My daughter was so unhappy at her other 'day care' and would just cry when I would leave her. Here she is so happy and even looks forward to going and cant understand why she cant go on the weekends. What really grabbed my attention when looking for a new place for my daughter is the fact that the director has a Masters in Education and the Program Director has taught in the military for over 30 years. I was also please to find out that each of the 'class rooms' were set up just like a traditional school, with art work, and curriculum that were being taught for that week. The other thing that really pleased me was that they provided a FDA Sponsored Food Program, which means that they provided meal, breakfast, lunch, and snack. While on a tour of the facility I got to see the kitchen where each meal was prepped and was pleased to see that they had a list of every child's allergies listed above the food prep area. I was also happy to see just how connected each of the teachers were with the children, interacting with them one on one, and how they all reinforced equality and friendship, and used a soothing voice. If you are looking for a loving, caring, enriched place for your kiddos, you really need to check this place out.

**THE PORT TOWNSEND HIGH SCHOOL DRAMA DEPARTMENT** is as…read moreReal as it gets....... About this time last year, I ran into a young woman selling student-produced postcards at the Saturday morning Port Townsend Farmer's Market. She was from the high school's drama club. I bought a few cards and had a nice chat with her . "You are from SAN FRANCISCO??? You are sooo lucky....." I promised that I'd come to the high school play in May 2010. And I did. "OLIVER TWIST YOU CAN'T DO THIS, SO WHAT"S THE USE OF TRYING???" You just haven't seen a great London play until you've seen "OLIVER!" *performed live... *by high schoolers... * in a high school auditorium... *in Port Townsend,WA... * overlooking the mountains, Victorian houses, clipper ships, and forests of the Olympic Peninsula. Trust me on this, you just can't do it....so what's the use of trying???? "Oliver!" was performed by graduating seniors Mikaela Euro and Paul Krabill. (They should be well on their way through college, even as I write this. ) Raven Pope made a convincingly puckish Artful Dodger, and Kellyn Traenkenschuh (who also was a graduating senior) choreographed many of the numbers in the show. It was stupendous. The parents, staff and kids of Port Townsend High are to be commended for putting together a show that I might have paid mega-bucks for had it been in London. Or in San Francisco, my home turf. $5.00 for admission. I'm a senior citizen. (It would have been $10 for the rest of you.) Should you be within voting distance of the Port Townsend School District, go ahead and bite the bullet...Give 'em your vote! If you are farther away, give 'em a hand! Or at least give your jewelry a jingle... And if you are in London or San Francisco (and you know who you are.).......give the kids a look-see when they get to your stage. And do save Fagin, The Artful Dodger and the "Boys of the Thieves Den" the trouble....just turn over your wallets at the door. These actors will put your money to good use. These kids are good...really good. They deserve your money and your time. Whistling as she exits stage left...."You've got to pick a pocket or two......"..........
