Nature-Based, Waldorf-Inspired Microschool in Northeast Minneapolis
We are now enrolling! Meadowlark is expanding with plans for K-4 in 2026 and eventually K-8.
Our Approach
The curriculum is designed to nourish the developing child in each stage of their growth. Learning is threefold and experienced with the head, heart, and hands. We seek to foster a child’s natural sense of wonder and build a deep foundation for learning and social -emotional development. This approach ultimately supports the student’s capacities for creativity, independent thinking, and moral judgment.
Our Story
Meadowlark is a joyful first grade class in Northeast Minneapolis, taught by longtime Waldorf teacher, Joyce Kapell. Our curriculum is grounded in love and reverence for the natural world and is inspired by Waldorf pedagogy. Meadowlark was founded by parents whose children attended Marigold Preschool. Marigold was founded in fall of 2021 by Brenda Haak, a Waldorf teacher of over 30 years. Brenda guided our children (and us) through a transformative experience as we learned how beautiful and healing an education can be. In an effort to grow this community and continue this education Meadowlark was born. Our intention is to continue to grow the school and to make it accessible to all.
