Waldorf vs. Montesorri
Play & Fantasy = Montessori tasks are reality-oriented, where Waldorf incorporates more fantasy based.
Social Development
Toys = Montessori says it is a mistake for children to amuse themselves with toys, instead must associate them with intellect. Waldorf says the less finished and the more suggestive a toy may be the greater its educational value for it really enlivens the imaginative life of the child.
Structure & Order = A child longs for rhythm and order in his world. Both Waldorf and Montessori recognize this but interpret it in quite different ways: both feel the physical setting needs an underlying order to help the child feel secure. The Montessori classroom has an emphasis on reality to free a child from his fantasies where the Waldorf classroom enhances the childís world of fantasy and imagination using natural materials;
Kindergarden
Goal = The goal of the kindergarten is to develop a sense of wonder in the young child and reverence for all living things. This creates an eagerness for the academics that follow in the grades.
Elementary & Middle School
Elementary and middle-school children learn through the guidance of a class teacher who stays with the class ideally for eight years.
