Under The Canopy

As the weeks of summer continue, consider slowly weaving gentle rhythms back into your family's days.

In Waldorf education, we believe that predictable rhythms help children feel safe, confident, and ready to learn. Small, consistent changes now can make the transition back to school feel peaceful rather than stressful. There's still plenty of time for barefoot adventures, muddy hands, and summer memories. Let the rhythm unfold naturally. 🌼

Meet Our Grades Teachers!

As our students grow, so does their journey of discovery. Our Grades teachers guide children through a rich blend of academics, creativity and hands-on experiences. Each teacher brings their own gifts while fostering curiosity, confidence, and a genuine love of learning.

🍂 Ms. Gregory (Tiffany Gregory) – 1st Grade Teacher
🌻 Ms. Timmons (Mallory Timmons) – 2nd Grade Teacher
🌲 Ms. Stone (Rachel Stone) – 3rd Grade Teacher
🍁 Ms. Martin (Sabra Martin) – 4th Grade Teacher
🌿 Ms. Tiffany (Tiffany Mattox) – 3rd & 4th Grade Paraprofessional

Together, they create classrooms where students are encouraged to think deeply, work creatively, and grow into capable, compassionate learners. Swipe through to get to know the wonderful educators who make up our Grades team.

Today, we celebrate the quiet, beautiful work of parenting.

The stories read before bedtime.
The hands held on morning walks.
The lunches packed with care.
The scraped knees kissed.
The songs sung, the gardens tended, the countless moments of love woven into each day.

The rhythms you create at home, the warmth you share, and the love you offer each day become the foundation from which children grow with confidence, wonder, and joy.

Thank you to our Under the Canopy families for trusting us to walk alongside your family. It is a privilege to partner with you in nurturing each child's head, heart, and hands.
