Our son graduated from the Aurora Waldorf School in eighth grade in 2004 (I think?) and this place…read morechanged his life. After a difficult initial couple years in public school, the Aurora Waldorf approach suited his learning interests and stimulation needs far better. Always a terrific child, youth, teen and young adult, the experience here was foundational in paving the way to a brilliant life and future.

I heard of this program/school a generation ago. I attempted to enroll my daughter in what I…read morethought would be an ideal education. No standardized testing. The individual is an individual. Whatever. My two grand-daughters are/were attending a parent/preschooler get together from late January until either next week or the week beyond. No one seems to know. My biggest issue with this place is that I prepaid the tuition, It wasn't excessive however I've started receiving emails - not intended for me- from parents who are requesting money back because they and their children did not attend. Odd. My daughter was informed that if her children even exhibited a slight tendency towards sickness......STAY AWAY!!! I'm cool with that however it seems that this policy does not apply not apply to everyone. Tried emailing the school and the post is closed. Stay away.

She has learned to share, dress herself for the outdoors, recognize and spell her name, and use the toilet while there. I'm amazed at how much she has grown in the last 6 months of her attending. I am also impressed with the way the current board, manager and teachers have worked to modernize the school over the years. I would recommend it to anyone!

Sadly I'm putting this low review out there so other new parents aren't putting their trust and…read morefaith into a place that has terrible, unprofessional communication to parents. It all sounds good, it all looks good, you want to believe it is good, but...in this pandemic world things are just not as they once were. Staffing is clearly a problem everywhere. The solution may have to be raising the pay of the very wonderful people who work directly with the little ones. Something has to be done to incentivize people to stay here. In our case my daughter went on the waiting list for her yet to be born child 6 months before he was even here. She was taking all of her allowed leave so she wasn't going start him until 5 months old. She started on the agreed upon date and after 2 weeks they "unenrolled" him, with literally no notice, from DoodleBugs. It took a call to corporate to be told it was due to staffing. No other suggestions for where to go or what to do. Just told on a Monday that he wasn't able to be part of the infant room. I don't know how a reputable business thinks this ok. It really is a sad day when you think you can trust a place with your BABY and this is how it is handled. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. And discuss how situations like this might be handled. Because clearly doodlebugs is not run by competent, caring people who can communicate to parents.

My daughter was excited to go to school every day. I was really impressed with what she could learn at such a very young age - not just with math and reading - but in art and music and nature studies. She learned how to talk her way through a conflict, and developed amazing leadership skills. And there were so many trips! She continues to carry the skills with her that she learned at CWS. I wish every child had the opportunity to attend this outstanding school!

We followed up several times, each time they acknowledged our place on the list and said they will have spots available and we will receive a call in the spring. We then followed up in the spring where we were told we are next on the list and will have no issue getting enrolled. We then followed up several weeks later, only to be rudely told that there are no spots available until March of next year. Obviously, as this has been our experience with this organization thus far.
