About Cobb Meadow School

The History of Cobb Meadow School
Cobb Meadow School is a Waldorf-inspired school that
provides a deeply nourishing and satisfying early school experience for
the young child. Created in 1992 by Libby Haddock, an experienced
Waldorf educator, Cobb Meadow School was nurtured by Libby and her late
husband Jim Haddock, in whose house the school still resides.
The Haddocks realized the vision of a Waldorf
preschool environment and in their first five years at Cobb Meadow
implemented most of the school’s warm and inviting atmosphere:
furniture was custom-built, the garden redesigned, and many toys
hand-made and acquired. In 1998, following a one-year hiatus, the
school was reopened by a group of interested parents and is now
governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. Libby remains on the
Board—which is populated by parents of current and former Cobb
Meadow children—and is a teacher in the Monadnock Waldorf
preschool. Jim was a regular presence in the classroom and activities
with the children until he passed away in 2010. Through the generosity
of the parent community, our sunroom was expanded in 2000 to allow for
more classroom space.
