Can I homeschool the Waldorf way in Queensland?+
Yes. Homeschooling is legal in Queensland. What you need to do, such as any notice to the authorities, records or assessment, is set out on our Queensland homeschool requirements page, which we keep up to date. Many families here combine homeschooling with a local kindergarten, parent-and-child group or co-op.

Everything else is marked Waldorf-inspired. Many are lovely, and some are on their way to membership, so it is worth asking them.
If there is a school near you, go and see it
Most schools and kindergartens hold open mornings, and many run parent-and-child groups for the youngest. A visit tells you more than any page can. If there is no school within reach, or it is not the right fit, you can still bring the same rhythm, stories and handwork into your home.
