Nevada Sage Waldorf School
Welcome to WECAN
The mission of the Waldorf Early Childhood Association of North America is to foster a new cultural impulse for the work with the young child from pre-birth to age seven.
WECAN is committed to nurturing childhood as a foundation for renewing human culture.
SCREEN FREE WEEK
May 1-7, 2023
During the first week of May, thousands of families, schools, and communities step away from their digital devices to rediscover the joy of life away from screens. Not only is Screen-Free Week a great way for children to enjoy life without entertainment screens, but it offers the chance for participants to create healthier screen-free habits year-round. WECAN is a proud endorser of this event, and we encourage you to participate.
We will post messages and planning resources on the Community Hub or you can contact us at communications@waldorfearlychildhood.org for more information.

For Members and Friends
In 2020-21 WECAN continued to face new challenges as we worked to support our WECAN members in meeting the needs of the children, families, and colleagues in their communities. Confronted by the necessity for change and a renewal of the social mission that is a founding impulse of Waldorf Education, we worked together on a path of growth and change in these unprecedented times.
“Becoming…”
