Our vision is to be a sanctuary where the magic of childhood is cherished and protected. We aspire to cultivate a community where each child can flourish in their own unique way. In this nurturing environment, immersed in nature, we hope to inspire not just a love for learning, but a capacity for independent thinking, moral courage, and a commitment to making a positive difference in the world. Our ultimate goal is to send forth creative, well-rounded, intuitive, free thinking individuals who are equipped to change the course of humanity, upholding the values of respect, integrity, empathy, compassion, and a sense of ethical responsibility.
“Our highest endeavor must be to develop free human beings who are able of themselves to impart purpose and direction to their lives. The need for imagination, a sense of truth, and a feeling of responsibility—these three forces are the very nerve of education.”
- Rudolf Steiner

Enrolling our children in this program has been a game-changer for our family. The daily activities, from immersive storytelling to hands-on nature play and rediscovering forgotten skills, have turned education into an exciting journey. Witnessing our kids' curiosity for knowledge sparked by this dynamic and joyful learning environment has been truly remarkable. Ms. Jenn's distinctive approach, seamlessly blending education with engagement, has not only fostered a love for discovery but has also created a positive impact that extends beyond the classroom.
I haven’t met anyone who captures the magic and wonder of early childhood education quite like Ms. Jenn can. Every lesson is thoughtful, meaningful and wholesome. It takes a special way of being to hold this space, that is naturally Ms. Jenn.
Waldorf education has been amazing for our family. We enjoy the emphasis on children being met where they are developmentally, lots of mindful movement practices and learning through songs, poems and story telling. This program is necessary and such a gift for Volusia.
This program has been a beacon of hope for our family, preserving the essence of childhood wonder and beauty in every lesson and activity. Their holistic approach and nurturing environment have allowed our child to flourish, fostering not just academic growth but also a profound sense of curiosity and joy in learning.
Ms. Jenn’s Waldorf class has been so transformative for my son. The Waldorf philosophy resonates so deeply with our family, and blends seamlessly into our lives. I love how it fosters his imagination and creative spirit, and how in line it is with the pace he naturally learns or becomes curious about a subject. As a homeschool oriented family, and first-timers, it’s taken the guesswork out of the direction we are going. Ms. Jenn is passionate, grounded, and truly devoted to her classroom. Her daily rhythms have helped me set the stage for our rhythms at home. To have her in our life, along with a community of like minded parents is a dream come true.
Waldorf education has allowed my child a natural and holistic love of learning and curiosity for more! Ms. Jenn’s passion and knowledge is so great, it overflows to the children through her storytelling, songs, and hands on activities. The holistic and natural approach fosters the children’s’ growth at their own pace allowing them to gain confidence and independence within themselves. An absolute gift to the community! The teachings go way beyond the classroom!
