Waldorf school?

So, apparently there is something now that is pre-preschool... many parents are taking their kids to "parent-tot" classes to get an early start on learning. Of course, I'd like to think that my daily doses of ABCs, 123s, colors, animals, etc are educating the little monster. But, is there something to attending actual classes? It's a ways away since such classes start at age 2 but something to think about nonetheless. I've read the "mission" of a local school that offers parent-tot classses and fell in love with it:

Tacoma Waldorf School inspires an engagement with learning that fosters understanding, a respect for the intrinsic values of our fellow humanbeings, and a reverence for the natural world. As children's capacities to feel compassionately and to think clearly and creatively are awakened, they are empowered to act with initiative and courage to meet the challenges of humanity (http://www.tacomawaldorf.org/Parenttot.htm).

How beautiful is that? Isn't that precisely what we want for our children? Parent-tot classes are only once a week so it'd probably be good for the both of us... and it seems to me the "Waldorf method" would be appropriate for monster in particular. Any thoughts? Anyone familiar with Waldorf schools in general?
