Welcome families and friends of El Rio Charter School.
Our vision is to found a Kindergarten through 5th grade public charter school, opening in 2013, which brings the advantages of a Waldorf style education to Northeast Los Angeles.
We are calling for participants willing to strategize, collaborate and give skills and time to help us
make it happen.

Imagine this.  Teen mothers, in high school, have a chance to learn to become a child care provider at the same time they are learning parenting skills and while their own children are receiving Walodorf-style child care at their own high school! S-m-a-r-t right?

Having lunch today with colleague and friend Rosario Villasana-Ruiz (link to her audio tape).  Rosario directs the Spanish Lifeways Program at Escuela Popular, a charter high school for 1,000 Hispanic students in San Jose.  200 children of the teen mothers attending the high school attend a childcare center on campus that is a community outreach program of the Spanish LifeWays Program and the Caldwell Early Life Center at Rudolf Steiner College.
