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 husband Jim, in whose house the
school still resides.
The
Haddocks realized the vision of a Waldorf preschool environment and in their
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 is a regular presence in our
classroom and activities with the children. Through the generosity of the
parent community, our sunroom was expanded in 2000 to allow for more
classroom space.
