Overview
The Boulder Waldorf Kindergarten (http://www.boulderwaldorf.com) is an early childhood center serving families and children, ages 12 months to 6 years.
Located on a beautiful 2 acre urban farm school in North Boulder, Colorado, the environment is carefully prepared to create an atmosphere of inspiration for learning.
Our expansive play yard is filled with shade and fruit trees, large organic / biodynamic gardens, natural wood climbing structures, old fashioned toys and an authentic tipi.
Children participate in creative play, help to grow and harvest vegetables, fruit and flowers, and assist in caring for our dairy goats and chickens.
Our school is in a lovely and spacious, light-filled adobe-style building.
Boulder Country Day School is a proudly independent institution serving students 2 years old - 8th grade.
In partnership with our outstanding faculty and committed families, we uphold the highest standard for our balanced educational experience.
Through small class sizes and innovative engagement in a supportive environment, students at BCD learn to explore their strengths and apply them to the world.
Guided by our values, we believe the empowered minds that graduate from BCD will be the ones to ignite global change.
