We believe that pregnancy and childbirth are normal life events and that all babies deserve a Graceful Beginning. Through evidence based care from midwives, healthy people can safely welcome their baby into their family at home. Graceful Beginnings Midwifery is the only practice in the Tucson area where home birth care is provided by a certified nurse-midwife.

We fill the roles of educator and expert, planner and preparer, encourager and a listening ear as you navigate those first few weeks at home with baby. Finding your new normal from breast and bottle feeding, to bathing, diapering and swaddling, baby wearing, sleeping, pumping, sibling care and mother’s physical and emotional health, a strong support network is essential to a new family’s postpartum success. As part of your team, we will take you from surviving the challenges to thriving and feeling calm and confident!

At Tucson Waldorf School we nurture the universal developmental stages for children, foster a love for learning, and create a connection to community through long lasting relationships. Our parent and child program, Quail’s Nest, gives you and your little one a peaceful, home-like environment carefully arranged for creative play. Families can begin this program at 6 weeks old through 2.5 years old. For the very young child, Quail’s Nest is also the perfect preparation for Waldorf education and the transition to our early childhood program for children from 2 through 6 years old in True Kindergarten. Our Grades program, 1st-8th, offers an outstanding classical education, presented with care and an ethic of beauty, while at the same time nurturing family life, and developing social and environmental awareness. Everything done at Tucson Waldorf School is in support of the wonderful children who learn and thrive here. Let us show you why we are different for a reason and highlight the importance of treasuring childhood!
