## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — A truly magical learning experience: We enrolled our child in De Waterval 2 years ago and it's been a game-changer. The teachers are passionate, the facilities are top-notch, and the emphasis on creativity and self-directed learning has helped our child thrive. We love the focus on 'duurzaamheid' and the sense of community that permeates the school. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — De Waterval exceeded our expectations: We moved to a new city and our daughter had to start at De Waterval. We were blown away by the school's commitment to experiential learning and its impact on our child's confidence and curiosity. We especially loved the 'erfvaringsgericht onderwijs' approach, which encouraged our child to explore and discover at their own pace. *(Jun 2022)*
- **3/5** — Mixed feelings about De Waterval: Our child started at De Waterval a year ago, and while we appreciate the school's focus on creativity and sustainability, we've had some concerns about the lack of structure and consistency in the classroom. The teachers are always enthusiastic, but we've had to advocate for our child's needs more often than we'd like. Still, we see our child growing and learning, so we're trying to be patient and supportive. *(Mar 2022)*
