Emerson Waldorf School Pre-K-12

"In a society that may be nudging children prematurely into adulthood, Waldorf schools try to preserve the magic and fairy-tale wonder of being a child."

After Care and Extended Care Program

The Nursery and Kindergarten offers supervised After School Care until 3 pm , for a limited number of children. As the other children say goodbye to their classmates, the children staying in after-school lay their cushions, pillows and blankets on the floor and prepare their own ‘room’ out of play stands and silk clothes. The teacher reads a story and then watches over them as the children lie on their beds for a nap - sometimes nodding off to sleep and sometimes just lying quietly looking through a book. After nap, the children go outside for free play, until they are picked up at 3 pm by a parent.  Beginning in the 2010-11 school year, there will be an aftercare option until 6pm.  Please speak with our Admissions Director for more details.

There is an additional charge for the Kindergarten Aftercare program - please refer to the 2010-11 Application for details.
