The Walden School of California
Preschool in Pasadena, CA 91107
Mission Statement: at Walden, we nurture a child’s natural wonder and personal dignity. We provide a personalized, developmentally appropriate program that encourages responsibility, initiative, child-led inquiry, ethical behavior, and excellence. We promote positive coNFLict-resolution skills, understanding, and creativity in problem solving. Children learn academic skills and concepts through experience and Socratic discussion as well as through direct instruction and practice. We teach children to value and respect diversity. We strive, therefore, to lay the foundation for wisdom, to encourage the spirit of Renaissance learning, and to teach that we all have stewardship for the world in which we live.

The Walden School philosophy addresses all aspects of the childs growth: a strong academic program challenges the childs intellect; an emphasis on self direction builds the childs feelings of competence and self esteem, individually-paced learning and a respectful approach to problem-solving stress the value of each childs unique abilities and character. The thoughtful balance of Walden Schools program helps children develop an inner balance that carries them into the future with skills, confidence and insight.
