Mission Statement

Woodhaven School strives to provide a nurturing and stimulating experience for its students, to foster a lifelong love of learning and exploration, and to promote humanitarianism and environmental awareness. The school works to cultivate the mind, body, emotions and spirit of each child through an exemplary program emphasizing personal growth, family involvement, nature-based play, creativity, artistic and musical expression, community service, and diversity in peoples, cultures and languages. We believe that play is a child’s work.

About This Cause

Woodhaven School was formed by a small group of parents in 1994. They wanted to create a nurturing environment for their young children, based on the principles of Waldorf education. The six founding families envisioned a haven that embraced the wonder of childhood, encouraged boundless imagination, and supported the unhurried, open spirit of a child. The families established annual events that focused on nature – a Harvest Potluck, a Lantern Walk through the woods in the Fall, a Spiral Walk in the winter, and a May Day Celebration each Spring. Woodhaven continues to celebrate these events each year.
