This school was our first choice, and we entered with high expectations, but we were ultimately…read morevery disappointed by our experience. The atmosphere is lovely and the learning environment is strong; however, the level of communication was extremely lacking. Our child is spirited and likely has ADHD, and the school was not equipped to accommodate or support her needs. During her second year, we were told the Montessori method might not be ideal, but we were assured the school would pay for someone to observe her and work with the teachers to create a plan to better support her. While this gave us hope, that observation never happened, and no plan was put in place. We were completely caught off guard when attempting to re-enroll and were informed that a final decision had already been made not to accept our child into Kindergarten. At no point was this communicated to us in advance. Our child attended the school from ages 3-5, an age when children are still learning self-regulation, yet we were told the Montessori model requires children to already possess this skill. By the time we were notified, enrollment at other schools had closed, leaving us with very limited options. In my opinion, this is not a good fit for spirited children or those with learning differences. The lack of follow-through and poor communication significantly impacted our family's educational path. If you suspect your child may have ADHD or needs additional support, I would strongly encourage you to look elsewhere.

We considered many options for our son's education, and we knew that this was the most critical…read moredecision when it comes to his early, formative years. As soon as we made contact with the Waldorf School of Tampa Bay, we knew that we had found something unique. My son and I were introduced to the school through the Merrily We Meet parent/child classes, taught by one of the most delightful educators you'll ever meet - Ms. Connie. She provides a beautiful introduction to Waldorf education through modeling, singing, simple handwork, puppetry, article/book discussions, and so much more! If you are interested in learning more about Waldorf education, this is such a lovely way to start. I will forever treasure the early days when I was able to attend class with my son! I shared everything I learned with my husband, who did some more research and went to tour the school with me. We saw the campus (it's magical), talked to the administration and faculty, asked tons of questions about curriculum and safety and social emotional well-being, and left the tour feeling so relieved that we had found a school where we felt our son could have the space and guidance to thrive; not just academically, but also physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Fast forward to the end of our son's first year in the early childhood program and we cannot be happier. He is excited to go to school every morning. He has lots of free play inside and outside, circle time, a healthy and hearty organic snack prepared by his teachers, and plenty of opportunities to socialize in different settings - from outside in the sandbox, to inside playing with toys, to around the table sharing a meal. He loves his teachers, and we do too! They have been very helpful in sharing ways that we can support our son's first year in school. We treasure the fact that they honor our son's current stage of childhood and respect him as a unique individual. In addition to our son's day to day happiness with his teachers and classmates, we have learned what it means to participate in a school that nurtures not only it's children, but entire families! We have had many opportunities to become involved in our school community through the parent council and through monthly parent education sessions presented by various teachers. Topics are always inspiring and range from nourishing a child's imagination, to how art feeds science, to creating loving boundaries, and many more. We have felt so welcomed and respected by the entire community throughout our first year as a Waldorf family. And we've learned a lot, too! In summary, my child is safe, well cared for, and respected at his school. His teachers know what is developmentally appropriate for his age and for him as a person, and they guide him accordingly. The teachers, administrators, and parents all support each other and the result is this peaceful, thriving, magical little community beneath the oak trees in Palm Harbor, FL. A place where learners are exposed to rigorous academics alongside the arts, plenty of time to explore and play and move their bodies, instruction in multiple languages, hands-on experiences, and countless opportunities to think critically. And I'm so glad that we get to be a part of it!

There are many wonderful opportunities for enrichment after school as well such as Drama Club, Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts, Mad Science and several team sport choices. The small community helps your child achieve mastery quickly and feel confident in their environment. The school truly has the recipe for emotional and academic success for children. Thank you St. Paul for nurturing my little girl every day.

She called my son back and told him he still needed to take their tests and that his score was very low. My son gave me the phone where Terri proceeded to tell me that anyone got an 800 on an SAT by writing their name on it to which I interrupted her to let her know that his recent score was a 200 point improvement and my son was excited he had improved but knew he needed a better score. She rattled off about having 25 years experience and said "I didn't know someone could score so low". I let her know that surely someone with 25 years experience would know that a test could come in that low and that we would not be requiring her services. My son is a bad test taker, he has anxiety he knows he has a lot of work to do, but this women had the warmth of Auschwitz, maybe she'd be better suited with scheduling tests for the DMV.

They don't have a place for the children to run around and play…read more Their curriculum is pretty good. The tuition is about 800 dollars a month for 3-4 hours of schooling, in my opinion is a top off! Then they force you to get their private tutor about $40 dollars an hour on top of the 800 +++ dollars. You are bound with a one year Contract if you withdraw your kid out before the term there is a moth of tuition penalty, does not matter if your happy about the place or not If you are not happy, the responsibility is always on you not the school, they even stop your child's progress on the upper levels by spreading false data about your kid. Annette's will get as much money as she can in the name of educating your kid, and if you do not agree she prevent the progress of your child in any other applied scholastic network! All because of money hunger! My kid could not bring food to heat up in school, they did not allow it. only cold food. The place had a junk food vending machine as source of nutrition for the kids. If your child needs more help than usual, they request more money to tutor the kids 40 dollars an hour Approximately. The good part about this place is, your kid will not get in to drugs, because they only serve them 4 hours and you need to go and get them. Their address is different than whats posted here.
