Primary/Secondary Education - , California, United States
Maple Village Waldorf School (MVWS) is located in a quaint residential neighborhood in Long Beach, California. The school was founded in 2008 by a group of passionate parents and teachers who met through a local home-based Waldorf-inspired program. Our school began with one parent/child class, including a built-in parent education component. We have since added a full and thriving early childhood program, including a baby & me class, four parent/toddler classes, two parent participation preschool classes, and two kindergarten classes. In the fall of 2011 we enthusiastically launched our grades program, which includes Grades One through Eight. With great joy and pride, we graduated our first class in 2018. Though we have come a long way from that home based program, the thread of passionate parents and teachers has continued to be a core value in our school and community of families.
