    Really disappointed. Heard great reviews but the class we had just wasn't that welcoming.

    Our older son has been in the early childhood (TK) program at Central Coast Waldorf for the past…read moreyear, and we couldn't be happier. He's thriving in an environment that truly honors childhood -- with play, creativity, and care at the center of everything they do. The teacher is warm, thoughtful, and deeply attuned to the kids. You can tell the staff love what they do, and the children absolutely flourish under their guidance. We especially appreciate how the school weaves hands-on learning into the day: from seasonal arts and crafts to preparing food together in class. Our son comes home talking about the bread they baked or the soup they made, and it's clear he's learning valuable life skills while having fun. It's also been wonderful to see him grow socially -- the community of parents is tight-knit and welcoming, and the kids build strong friendships in a nurturing, screen-free environment. We're excited to enroll our younger son in the same program next year. It's a gift to have a place like this on the Central Coast.

    We are so happy we found this school for our children. We have been at the school for 5 years now,…read moreand hope to be for the rest of our children's schooling. The teachers care so deeply about their students, and there is a beautiful dialogue between teacher and parents so that each child is seen and held. The academics are lovely and meet our kids right where they are in their development. And the reason we love it the most, and would recommend the school to anyone is the way they teach to the whole child. My kids are growing up with incredible social-emotional skills, awareness of the environment/stewards of nature, and have such a gorgeous community of friends and family to lean on. The festivals are also such a treat, and I would say even if you aren't at the school make it out to the Winter Faire!

    I can't say enough great things about Wellspring. My son has gone there for 2.5 years, and my…read moredaughter has been there a year. Susan, the director, is a woman full of wisdom and love for these children. She has dedicated her life to helping young children grow well, and has always had a listening ear when I need child rearing advice. The kids get to play in THE BEST WAY! Everything is set up for maximum imagination in a totally stress free environment. They are allowed to get dirty, and always come home with the biggest smiles on their faces. Susan in a wealth of knowledge about child development and her philosophies on play make so much sense. Wellspring is also very community oriented. They have "family" gatherings as well as other events to cultivate community. My family feels welcome and at ease when we are there. And they sell farm fresh eggs for $4 per dozen- what a screaming deal! This school is such a blessing to our little community. It is also a non-profit organization, making it very affordable.

    Wellspring is such an amazing preschool! Our son has gone there for the last 2 years, and we love…read moreit! Wellspring provides a loving, nurturing environment for kids to play, be creative, take risks and learn about relationships with other kids. It is really different than other preschools we visited, in a good way! First, Wellspring is truly "play-based." There is no required group activity except for lunch. All the kids have to wash up and sit together for a sweet, usually home-cooked healthy meal together. There is also a story time where a teacher will read books, and kids may sit together and listen, but this is not required. Kids really get to get into their play deeply. There are lots of places to play, and lots of things to play with, and the kids get to choose what they do. There is a mud hut (sand box with pots and pans, tools, shovels, trucks.) There is a place to mix colored water. There is a clay station. There is a little house with dolls, dress up clothes, capes, etc. There is a hay bale fort to climb on. There are musical instruments to play. There is an art studio. There are toys like plastic dinosaurs and cars, magna-tiles and blocks. There are so many creative things to do, it always amazes me! Kids are allowed to direct their own play. Kids aren't allowed to hurt anyone (physically or verbally. Kids don't have to share, which was a new concept for me at first. Now I am a fan! The kids know that they can play with something as long as they want, and when they are done, only then can someone else have a turn. That way, kids can really get into their play and not feel rushed. Everyone has this same right. Sometimes kids choose to share on their own, and sometimes not. The play I see at Wellspring is so creative! Second, kids are allowed to take risks. The director, Susan, set up play areas to be safe for kids. There is a deep layer of wood chips on the sand and things are set up in a very safe way. Kids are allowed to climb on top of the hay fort and jump down. They are allowed to play as their imagination directs them. This way kids get to explore their limits and gain self-confidence and skills like balance. My son is an only child, and he has gained so many social skills. He always gets dirty and comes home happy.

Chris and Tina are the sweetest, most nurturing people--you can tell right away how much they truly love working with kids. They create such a warm, safe, and fun environment where our girls were always happy to go each day. They're not only caring but also incredibly helpful, patient, and fun, which makes the whole experience so positive for both kids and parents. We've always felt completely confident knowing our girls were in such good hands. We are so grateful for everything Chris and Tina have done for our family and couldn't recommend their daycare more highly!
