And AI is a threat to the intelligence of children. This will be our first year at the Wadorf School of Bend. We attended two other Waldorfs previously. The teachers and staff so far have been very nice. The class sizes are small, especially from 5th grade through middle school. Your child will get one on one attention and the best holistic education possible. They are offering 50% off for middle school right now and it's a great time to get in. We tried public school for middle school and regret it. Our son is looking forward to going back to Waldorf! The tuition may seem expensive, but they do have financial assistance. And do whatever you can to get your child into here. 2nd job, skip the fancy vacations or car. Make Waldorf a priority and you will not regret it.

She loves teaching kids and she is the absolute best in the county at it. My kids tried out a couple of other schools in Bend before we found Eco-Kidz. After the first week we went from 3 days to 5 days a week because they begged me to go every day she was open. There was no complaining in the morning, no reminding them to get into the car... they were READY TO GO! She has an unbelievable set up at her school. Her Angel Bear Yoga and Meditation was amazing because my kids got more focused, calmer and paid attention better at home because of it. (I think this helped them learn much faster.) Even after we moved out to Sisters they begged me to bring them to her school one day a week so they could still enjoy her curriculum, which I did. They get to travel around the world, learn art by creating all sorts of things, science by growing things, mixing things together and tending to animals, take on animal and human characters in colorful, silly costumes, enjoy the specialized play areas, games and then... there is the awesome play yard. This school is SPECIAL. Today, 3 years later, my kids are both ONE YEAR AHEAD in Math and English... and it's all thanks to Eco-Kids. They learned how to LOVE LEARNING here. What more could I have asked for? Thank you from the bottom of my heart Mamabear. You're the best!

The best thing about outdoor preschool is that the kids learn to play with the environment around them.

We are thankful to have Kendal and Ryder running this preschool here in Central Oregon!

I kind of wish that I was a kid again so I could take part in this stuff. ;)

I took my best friend's 8-year-old to class all summer and he loved learning kitchen techniques and sharing his creations and knowledge with us when he got home. Ashley is a wonderful, inspiring teacher dedicated to equipping kids with practical skills for making good choices- we need more people like her in this world! I would highly recommend these classes to anyone whose child is interested in food and cooking. You can be assured everything they make is healthy, easy to do at home and the classes are also accommodating to kids with allergies to gluten/dairy etc which is a huge plus.

What a smart idea to house the parks and recreation district next to the school where they can share fields and resources. I went in and looked around it appeared they had a couple of tumbling rooms and some locker rooms. Much information on the boards regarding ongoing and soon to come classes. Nice place. We came into find some maps for the nearby disc golf course. This disc golf course is the best one I've ever played. Well maintained and laid out. There's no map at the course which is why the cardboard maps are invaluable if you have not played this 18 hole course through the woods, before. Very nice and scenic and flat terrain. It runs near the road in places but unless you have a horribly errant shot. you should be fine. (No, I didn't). A great way to spend an afternoon.

This was my second baby, and with my first I didn't have a doula and tried to have an unmedicated birth but had various complications. It left me somewhat traumatized, I wasn't sure I could do it the way I wanted, and very fearful for another "emergency" situation. My goal with hiring Madeline was to overcome this fear and have a healing and successful ideal birth. And she facilitated that perfectly, beyond my expectations! I knew I needed help with pain management #1, and felt confident in Madeline's approach to help me with that. What I didn't expect was how extremely comforting and helpful she was in the weeks prior birth. I was able to text her questions, worries, concerns, and she always reassured me and calmed my nerves. She was always there for me when I needed her. I ended up having my dream birthing experience - completely unmedicated and natural, and I very much credit this to Madeline's assistance and calming presence throughout the birthing. She helped me through every contraction, and created a relaxed environment. She came to our home for multiple visits, including a post-partum visit, and she provided an awesome "peanut" ball, essentials oils, and other very helpful tools. I would emphatically recommend Madeline for any woman looking for emotional and physical support during birth and prior. She's the best! If I have another baby - I am definitely hiring her asap! My husband and I are both SO grateful for her. She is knowledgable and passionate about what she does. You'd be very fortunate to have her assistance with birthing - thank you Madeline for making my dream birth a reality!!!

I paid $75 for 3 hours of in-home classes where we learned what to expect at the hospital (paperwork, what vaccinations/shots/procedures they'll try to give the baby, what I can say "yes" and "no" to, how to make a birth plan), what to physically and mentally expect during labor and postpartum, and how to reach her with questions if needed. She even helped me get more info on labor and delivery with Gestational Diabetes. My husband also felt at ease with her and we really appreciated her coming to our house so we didn't have to make an extra trip out. She even sent us a really sweet card of encouragement and thanks afterward. Thanks so much, Maddy! I'd recommend her in a heartbeat.
