Waldorf Education, established by Rudolf Steiner in 1919, nurtures the whole child—mind, heart, and hands—through a curriculum that evolves with the child's natural development. With around 1,000 schools worldwide, this holistic approach fosters curiosity and growth. Visit the Waldorf Early Childhood Association of North America for more details.
Waldorf teachers begin teaching reading officially in the first couple of months of first grade. At KiDO International PlaySchool, we offer stories, rhymes, verses and songs that help teach syntax, sentence structure and word sequence for enhanced reading & writing readiness.
KiDO Raising the Readers Program provides full support to children’s Early Literacy. The Program natually allows books, storytelling, and reading to be part of our KiDO little ones growing up. The consistent KiDO-Home rhythm & routine allow the children to be phonologically aware. At the same time the children interwined their learning with other real life experiences – “such as self expression through music and movement and a wide variety of sensory encounters.”

Waldorf schools are non-sectarian and non-denominational. They educate all children, regardless of their cultural or religious backgrounds. The pedagogical method is comprehensive, and, as part of its task, seeks to bring about recognition and understanding of all the world cultures and religions. Waldorf schools are not part of any church. They espouse no particular religious doctrine but are based on a belief that there is a spiritual dimension to the human being and to all of life. Waldorf families come from a broad spectrum of religious traditions and interests.
