The Wooden Button

About

The Wooden Button is a small preschool inspired by the Waldorf education model, with a well-established reputation beyond its Washington Heights home.

Our program is play-based and focused on the children’s physical, social, and emotional development as well as their connection to their community and to nature. We encourage self-directed play both inside the classroom and out of doors year-round.

The Waldorf philosophy just turned 100. Click on the link to see a short film depicting Waldorf education around the world.
