River Song has been a blessing since we first walked through its doors years ago looking for a place for our daughter to attend...River Song offers a uniquely warm, inviting, and beautiful experience for our children with caring, dedicated teachers and staff...We were so excited when our son was able to attend as well. We are extremely grateful to those at River Song for helping to make our children's childhood so special.

I liked taking walks! Now I have to sit in a chair all day.

Our family chose River Song as the preschool for our both of our children because we believe in protecting and fostering the imagination, creativity, and magic of early childhood. River Song's daily walks in nature, seasonal songs and stories, family festivals, wholesome snacks, and nurturing staff have cultivated confidence and ingenuity in our children.

Some days we would find treasures on our walks and knitted hearts and jewels.

The moment we set foot at River Song for a tour, we knew it was a special place for young children and families. The physical space, staff, and students exuded peace, intention, and caring. We feel so lucky to know that our children have been nurtured, cherished, and loved every single day at school by their friends and teachers. This is a magical and special preschool experience!"

I loved going to the willow tree. I learned to climb SO high and look down at everything. I miss going to River Song.

The most important element in an early childhood education program is the quality of the individuals who provide day-to-day care of our children. The staff at River Song demonstrates their deep respect and nurturing of the children through every thoughtful detail. They provide a beautiful balance of support and comfort while fostering independence and imagination...I am so grateful to have my child introduced to the world of school in the gentle, holistic, child-centered method of Waldorf education, in which River Song excels.

Everywhere you look, you see smiles and children having fun. I looked forward to scavenger hunts and making masks.
