Seven Canyons School, Waldorf school, Salt Lake City, Utah, alternative education

would u know if this Seven Canyons School preschool is a mormon religion preschool?

what about East Side Preschool: 3350 S 2300 E ?

how are these schools?

Since it's run inside a non-LDS church, it is definitely NOT LDS-Church affiliated.

There really aren't any "Mormon" pre-schools - but in Utah, you have a good possibility that a lot of the students and the teacher is Mormon.

My preschooler goes to a preschool out of a gal's home and she's not Mormon. However, lots of the kids are.

This is a VERY late response but wanted to reply. Waldorf began in Germany, based on the works of Rudolph Steiner. It is a worldwide educational movement and is 100% NOT Mormon!! It is, however, different from mainstream thought on education so anyone considering Waldorf would be well advised to do a lot of research on Waldorf education and decide whether it's a good fit.

BTW, my child did go to a Waldorf preschool and I absolutely loved it and agree with the philosophy. Seven Canyons does not go beyond preschool in SLC.

i've never even heard of a mormon preschool--in fact, the idea scares me. i might have to leave the state were i to find something like that in my neighborhood. ok, maybe i'd just leave the neighborhood. or maybe i'd just laugh at the parents.

freakin' gentile-suspicious parents. i know they're out there...

I don't know why there wouldn't be a Mormon preschool to be honest. There are Episcopal, Presbyterian, Methodist, Lutheran, Jewish, and other, religious preschools. Why shouldn't there be an LDS preschool?
