Our Story

ROSEBUD GARDEN

Created to nurture the young child's unfolding growth and development, Rosebud Garden at Kimberton Waldorf School offers a unique and intentional environment where the young child's head, heart, hands and soul are nourished. Young children are budding human beings growing everyday towards full development. We, the adults in their lives, are charged with providing the necessary foundation for this development to happen in a healthy way. When we receive the young child in reverence, we witness in awe and wonder their unfolding capacities as developing human beings who will one day change this world.  Transform the child, transform ourselves, transform the world!

KIMBERTON WALDORF SCHOOL

Kimberton Waldorf School is dedicated to nurturing the developing child in accordance with the educational principles of Rudolf Steiner and building a supportive, diverse community around the children. The school fosters the unfolding individuality of each child by awakening the child’s capacity to meet the world, others and the self, with warmth of heart, clarity of thought, and strength of purpose.
