The Waldorf education philosophy originated in the early 1900s with Rudolf Steiner, who believed that child development could be grouped into three distinct stages of roughly seven years each. He proposed that: Early childhood education should focus on creative play and active, hands-on learning Elementary education is the time to introduce academic instruction, while teaching students to increase their imagination and manage their emotions Secondary education should focus on critical thinking, empathy, and community service The Waldorf philosophy (also called the Steiner education philosophy) has become a worldwide movement that has gained significant popularity in the United States in the last decade, with dozens of new Waldorf-inspired schools having been created in that time. This trend has extended to homeschooling, as well, with many families adopting a Waldorf/Steiner approach to education.
