Our rightful place as educators is to be removers of hindrances. Each child in every age brings something new into the world from divine regions, and it is our task to remove bodily and psychical obstacles out of his way, to remove hindrances so that his spirit may enter in full freedom into life. The Waldorf educational philosophy and curriculum is based on the child development models outlined by Dr. Rudolf Steiner. The Waldorf curriculum is distinguished by a conscious education of the whole person in an age-appropriate manner. The curriculum and classroom experiences are in tune with the natural rhythms and patterns of human development, through which the physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual dimensions of the child are developed. In other words, Waldorf education is a complete education, in every sense of the word. One of the most fundamental concepts that Waldorf teachers work with is that each child is unique. Teachers work with the conviction that each child has unlimited potential, talents and gifts which will be of value to the world and our future. Teachers strive to create an environment for these ‘seed' talents to blossom. It is fascinating to witness and read about "modern day" educationists, psychologists, entrepreneurs, and coaches who recognize, study and promote these approaches as the most optimally suited for education and success in our modern era. Dr. Steiner emphasized the importance of young children experiencing wonder, awe, and the feeling of gratitude for life. He was not interested in religious dogma, or felt that religious belief is the prerogative of individual families, but he did believe in creating a mood of respect and love. For the young child in particular, he stressed recognizing the beauty and wonder of nature.
