Mountain Laurel Waldorf School

If you are looking for a school that focuses on meeting your child where they need to be met, Mountain Laurel Waldorf School is that school. The teachers are fully-vested in your child's school experience. It's never about testing, it's about finding the fullest potential in each child in a compassionate, nonjudgmental way. The early childhood program at Mountain Laurel is amazing. I put my four children through this program -- starting with their parent-tot program -- and I was continually amazed at how much the teacher and teacher's assistant put into their work with the kids on a daily basis. The classrooms are beautiful, the commitment to surround the kids with only things that spark the imagination and the focus on outdoor play (they go outside almost every single day!) is truly a wonderful thing to observe. My kids come home every single day with bright eyes and bright smiles. It's a wonderful school with a dedicated staff in the heart of New Paltz. Great alternative to the public school system. Added bonus: they are extremely generous with financial aid so if you think you may be priced out of this school, you could be wrong!
