I just sent for a book called Simplicity Parenting that I hope will help streamline the environment.

I had hoped others with more experience with Waldorf in their program would chime in... but I will jump in first.

In terms of books these are my favorite Waldorf based books:

You Are Your Child's First Teacher
https://www.amazon.com/Your-Childs-F...+first+teacher

Beyond the Rainbow Bridge
https://www.amazon.com/Beyond-Rainbo...4A64SPR19G8X7R

Heaven on Earth
https://www.amazon.com/Heaven-Earth-...D6E8DGRAGJ66G2

Seven Times the Sun
https://www.amazon.com/Seven-Times-S...JWGKSVJW2356K2

The Creative Family

Other Resources

This is not Waldorf but when you go screen free it's nice to know what to do when you run out of inspiration.

The Artful Parent Blog
http://artfulparent.com/
Again not Waldorf but helpful.

Mother.com Forums has a Waldorf section that is AMAZING!

Little Acorn Learning has a Kindergarten Waldorf Curriculum since academics are not heavy in Kinder I would assume you could adjust this for preschool age

This is a nice home based child care inspired by Waldorf:
