Waldorf School of Saratoga Springs Hosts Annual ‘Angel Room’
Written by Kacie Cotter-Harrigan on . Posted in Education.

The Waldorf School of Saratoga Springs welcomed families from the community into its Angel Room, a cherished seasonal tradition that offers a moment of calm, beauty, and connection during the busy holiday season.
While parents enjoyed refreshments and conversation, young children were guided by “angels” (older students) through a beautiful winter wonderland, where they chose handmade holiday gifts for their loved ones.
Select Holiday Auction items were also on display, giving attendees a chance to preview offerings that support the school’s programs and tuition assistance while taking part in the Angel Room experience.
More than a holiday celebration, the Angel Room reflects the school’s broader approach to education—one that values rhythm, reverence, and age-appropriate experiences that nurture emotional well-being alongside intellectual growth. For many families, it has become a beloved annual tradition and a reminder that the holiday season can be marked by simplicity, connection, and a calmer pace.
The Waldorf School of Saratoga Springs serves children and families from early preschool through 8th grade.
