Our child attended CLWS for three years. Preschool was a charming experience
from start to finish. In Kindergarten, we started to have a lot of trouble. Our
child started coming home with bruises and even a black eye. She was bullied on
the play yard and the teacher did very little to address it. She told us that
our child was tired and told our child to lay-low and not run away from her
attackers. I have spoken with numerous parents that had the very same problem. I
am speaking out because although Waldorf has its numerous charms they need to
enforce their anti-bulling policy and listen to parent's concerns. We have
switched our child to a charter school and she has never been happier. If your
child is at CLWS and puts up a huge fight every morning when going to school ask
about bulling. I wish I'd known sooner and had not made my child endure a full
year there. --Submitted by a parent

I moved my children from this school due to many issues with the administration.
The Waldorf curriculum itself is very lovely, but this particular school is run
very poorly. Poor personal behavior is hushed up and the school seems very
involved with it's adult community needs at the expense of the children. This is
said behind closed doors and privately, but in classic dysfunctional fashion, it
is never addressed directly. I would not recommend this school.
