About Haleakala Waldorf School Daycare

Many parents visiting Haleakalā Waldorf School's Early Childhood classes feel an instant, intuitive connection — often saying, "I wish I had gone to a school like this." The room is warm, colorful, cared-for and filled with nature's beauty and variety—a place where children can let their imaginations roam while feeling reassured and protected. The young child learns primarily through imagination, action and imitation, by seeing and doing. The goal of the Waldorf Early Childhood program is to develop a sense of wonder in the young child and reverence for all living things. Participating in household tasks builds a sense of community as well as individual responsibility. Our Waldorf Early Childhood programs provide a nurturing environment based on an understanding of the young child’s special developmental needs before the age of seven.
