The Waldorf Education was developed by Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925), an unique humanist and scientist, who gave profound insights, not only into the human condition, but also medicine, agriculture, the arts and the sciences, and education.

Rudolf Steiner’s philosophy of child development places great importance on the mental, emotional, spiritual and physical nature of each age level. Furthermore, it encourages the development of a receptivity, an openness, to learning in addition to the development of healthy physical bodies. He realized that children must develop basic physical, social and creative abilities along with the nourishing of the spirit in order to be well prepared for greater intellectual learning.
