What we expect from parents

That they work towards understanding the principles which lie behind Waldorf education so that they know what they have chosen for their child and can give the teachers whole-hearted support in their work.
That they ensure that their child comes to school regularly and arrives punctually every day.
That they arrive in good time to meet their child at the end of the kindergarten morning and leave the premises promptly unless they have a legitimate reason for being at kindergarten and that they supervise their child.
