September 7th we opened for the fall semester. Over the summer our teachers have been very engaged to promote the Waldorf way to teach to families in Bouaké and surroundings. Bringing an entirely new philosophy and approach to early childhood development to the region has been met with increasing curiosity. The adversity we have with in a beautiful forest area is that it is a bit far from the city center and transportation is a challenge. The families that chose us are devoted parents, just the way we want the dynamic to be. It was delightful to welcome the children to our campus last Monday and the children that have been with us before are gladly demonstrating to our newcomers how the routines flow. Here is a photo from today‘s story time where the children are tentatively listening to our teacher creatively making the story come alive.
