Prairie Moon Waldorf School

I was sold after the first time we visited one of the festivals. The kids from the school were running around having fun and being kind and gentle to each other from the little ones up to the teens. My oldest started in 2017 and my second in 2018. Could not be happier. I chose Prairie Moon to help teach our boys emotional intelligence. And they get so much more also. Many of the children there seem to be testing above their grade levels especially compared to public schools.

Prairie Moon is a horrible school to work for. Over a decade, I witnessed the school go from a high quality school to a poorly run and disorganized institution.The biggest challenge is accountability.The school is not held to any specific standards for accountability and even though the board of trustees job is to uphold Waldorf values and strengths, the current group of adults lacks the integrity and they do not do their research. Prairie Moon holds prejudices against teachers and students who are different and/or vulnerable. Prairie Moon allows children to be bullies at the school so long as their parents have money. Prairie Moon is an elitist school which uses adults until they find out that those adults want for the school to be held responsible for their actions. Prairie Moon lacks compassion and understanding and there is unwillingness to accept responsibility and provide support for students who have high behavioural needs, they do not provide sufficient support, training or resources to teachers when they need it.Prairie Moon School does not teach respect or have respect for the privacy of other. As a teacher I was made to be available and accessible to all other faculty at all times of day and night. One teacher even went as far as giving my personal address to families that I worked with when I asked her not to. If you are a worker under the age of 25 you are also treated poorly and used. The administration came to my home on several occasions when I worked there after being asked to stop. I worked hard, I was a good teacher and I spoke up when there were wrong doings at the school. In the end when I had to leave they acted like there was no room for growth within the school. As it is, it is hanging my a thread and it should not be in operation.

Prairie Moon Waldorf School has been a huge part of both my daughter's early years, then early childhood/preschool/kindergarten and moving on with he grades. The Prairie Moon community, has become a family of support and socializing and nourishment for our family's life. I could not imagine these years any other way. Come for a visit...it's not as far out as you think it is!

Prairie Moon Waldorf School has been an amazing educational gift to my children, both of whom went through the early childhood program and now are in the grades program. It has been amazing to watch the faculty work with them to help each grow academically and individually, all the while developing a sincere love of learning while keeping their creative desires very much alive! I had read a lot about the Waldorf curriculum prior to my children being able to experience it first hand, but could not have imagined just how wonderful it would be to watch them get to experience it over the many years they have been here. We are so grateful Prairie Moon Waldorf School will go through middle school!
