Testimonials

"Donna Simmons' curriculum materials are so clear and accessible. I often recommend them, both as a starting point for new parents who are just beginning to study Waldorf Ed., and to more seasoned homeschoolers looking for curriculum ideas.

"Donna's words are like an offer of a reassuring hand, to make me feel: "I can do it" and to help me relax and know that my instincts are right.

"She deeply understands developmental readiness, and her encouraging words have often helped me to observe my child with a fresh perspective, and to relax, knowing that I don't need to push the learning process ...

"... Having Donna's books to refer to is like having a wry and witty best friend, just an arm's length away, ready to share her wisdom and encouragement."

Thea Bodger, homeschooler and Waldorf early years teacher

"Thank you so much for coming to Grand Junction, CO to discuss teaching and the Waldorf way. I was particularly impressed by your session on teaching science and the emphasis on observing the natural world. Observation is the key to truly understanding science and all that goes with it. Your method of honing the child's powers of observation is the secret to spawning an awareness of science and can make interesting such mysteries as why rain falls and how that drop found its way into a cloud in the first place. I look forward to my kids learning math and science by such captivating means. Thank you and we hope to see you in Grand Junction again."

Travis Cox, Grand Junction, CO

"We've been working with your curricula for 3 years now and are loving it! We've also steered a whole bunch of others your way - we really like the tone of your writing, the heart of your meaning, and your adherence to Waldorf principles in combination with real life/natural learning...

"Personally I want to thank you for the considerable contribution you are making to the homeschool movement in general, and Waldorf in particular. You have a real talent for making the stuff accessible, and I'm not sure that I, or others I know, would have had the courage to take the plunge with our children had it not been for your curricula.

Sasha Addams, Denver, CO
