- "Waldorf is about age appropriate material at the correct time. It is about bringing things at the proper time in development. Who defined this development? Steiner didn’t completely define it, but he did pull it into the realm of education. From this we know that children in the first 7 years are rooted in imitation. The second 7 years are rooted in imagination. The third set of 7 years in truth. Waldorf isn’t about delaying academics as much as it is about not pushing them and allowing the child to unfold. So often people think of education as filling a vessel. Waldorf doesn’t think that way. We know that everything is contained inside the vessel, as teachers we draw it forth. We do that by educating the whole child. Each part of the child is met – head, heart and hands. Now that doesn’t have to happen in the traditional Waldorf school way. Sure there are iconic things that you will see and know that it is Waldorf, but there are also other ways to accomplish some things. Waldorf is about being flexible and teaching our children to think flexibly. We can’t draw forth at the appropriate time if we are stuffing things in before they are ready. Take your time. Let them unfold like the beautiful flower they are." (https://s3.amazonaws.com/kajabi-storefronts-production/sites/53281/themes/1022013/downloads/YUl8qrptQ9yhh3Zc22Ui_understandingwaldorf.pdf.pdf)

- "Timberdoodle began in 1985, when Dan and Deb realized that the homeschool supplies Deb used with their 3 daughters, ages 1, 2, and 3, were in great demand. They soon discovered that if she purchased products in case quantities, she could resell the excess to fellow homeschoolers and save them money off of retail. This began the Timberdoodle tradition of searching out the best homeschool supplies and selling them at discounted prices.
Timberdoodle's homeschool philosophy is to use your school time to focus on teaching your children how to learn. Teach them reading, math, and thinking skills, and they will be well on their way to being a huge blessing to their community. Yes, there is a lot more to learn: Latin, art, science, foreign languages, history, writing, grammar, geography... and we encourage you to do as much of that as you enjoy and your time and budget allow."
