Academic works starts early, with the Parroting Stage [Waldorf] An education that focuses on the whole human being based upon Steiner’s philosophies. The human being is regarded as a spiritual being on a spiritual journey, and as such, the educational curriculum is set up to develop the young child’s skills and abilities in accordance to this standard. Works within seven-year-cycles and what is appropriate for one age is not appropriate for the other ages.
