Valley Waldorf City School, Van Nuys | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

I love this school and I love the teachers! I also love that they are able to offer such a quality education at a much lower cost than other Waldorf schools.
The Waldorf education philosophy was rather new to me, but seeing how my granddaughter has been developing in preschool, I have become a firm believer.
I love the fact that Waldorf’s emphasis is not on how much technology, reading capability or math the child can learn in preschool, but how well the child can develop their imagination and thinking capabilities. Her imagination skills are constantly developing and when we have a play date she chooses the games and they are always filled with a vivid imagination and a love of nature.
Her preschool teacher is wonderful and I have seen firsthand the care and interest she shows towards developing these qualities in every child.
I also appreciate Waldorf’s strong music program. My granddaughter is always singing the songs she learns in school and is looking forward to learning how to play an instrument.
Waldorf also teaches the children how to interact with their playmates, teachers and other adults. I had an opportunity to witness my granddaughter respond to a rather harsh comment with respect, grace and a sweetness way beyond her age.
Waldorf discourages electronics for these little ones and for that I am very grateful. I firmly believe in Waldorf’s concept that children who learn to think not only outside the box but way beyond it will be able as adults to make extraordinary contributions to society and to solving our world’s problems. It is very exciting to watch my granddaughter grow and develop under such a great philosophy.

I have two children in attendance at the Valley Waldorf school. I will testify that the quality of education there is excellent. The talent level and dedication of the teaching staff is the best in LA. And combined with strong parent involvement, this school provided one of the most inspiring learning environments I’ve seen. I level of knowledge the students acquire here never ceases to amaze me.

I too have read the false, misleading and slanderous review below by the anonymous and disgruntled individual. I will say to anyone considering this school for their children: you should take a school tour, attend an open house, or even better attend one of the many community school events held throughout the year. While doing so, speak to any of the parents with children enrolled; I guarantee you will find similar sentiments to ones I have listed here.

This school is amazing!! Nurturing, magical, inspiring, excellent dedicated teachers, with a great sense of community. We researched so many schools for months and months before finding this one, and I’m so happy we found it. I think it must be the best kept secret in the valley (as well as the best kept secret for people looking for an affordable Waldorf education). The quality of the teaching, and the overall dedication of the staff and parent groups is extraordinary. We’ve been there almost two years now, and my daughter can’t wait to go to school every day. She doesn’t want to leave at the end of the day. We will be with this school all the way through to 8th grade. I highly recommend it.
