After a difficult initial couple years in public school, the Aurora Waldorf approach suited his learning interests and stimulation needs far better. Always a terrific child, youth, teen and young adult, the experience here was foundational in paving the way to a brilliant life and future. We are thankful to have found the Waldorf method and to Aurora Waldorf for helping bring out his very best. We couldn't be more proud of him, now in his 30s and thriving.

I heard of this program/school a generation ago. I attempted to enroll my daughter in what I…read morethought would be an ideal education. No standardized testing. The individual is an individual. Whatever. My two grand-daughters are/were attending a parent/preschooler get together from late January until either next week or the week beyond. No one seems to know. My biggest issue with this place is that I prepaid the tuition, It wasn't excessive however I've started receiving emails - not intended for me- from parents who are requesting money back because they and their children did not attend. Odd. My daughter was informed that if her children even exhibited a slight tendency towards sickness......STAY AWAY!!!

I give it low stars because the overall organization is very poorly run by corporate management. They don't maintain their buildings, take limited insurance and bill in cycles that are not consistent. The services you receive for your child are only as good as the person hired. Training is very low for employees and turn over is high. They don't pay very much and I don't think they give out vacation time. It's hard to rely on BTs as they are always calling off and no back-ups. Not enough consistency for the children. People really rely on these services. I hope they can do better soon!

He LOVES Ms. Shannon so much, running to her with the biggest smile and hug every time he sees her. He went from not being able to say mama/dada to saying sentences and working through his frustrations by communicating instead of being physical thanks to her. She is great at communicating his progress and things we should be working on at home. I wish I would have found her sooner for my older son.

He has a difficult time transitioning to new tasks and Fragile X causes his speech to sound muffled and difficult to understand. Shannon was professional, efficient, and effective. She used a variety of methods to help him transition into each therapy session and he responded to her and cooperated without any bad behaviors. Also, his communication skills improved. He started to answer questions using complete sentences, used more than one to two word answers, and his speech was clearer. As parents, she was wonderful to work with and helped us find ways to assist him in communicating. Wish we could give her more than just the five stars!
