Early Childhood

Play is the central activity of the Early Childhood Program. Through play children learn to grow in their imagination, to develop tolerance and social skills, the use of language, and fine and large motor skills. Play invites the child into their natural development, encouraging curiosity, self-awareness, and social responsibility. It is a world of lively experiences and joyful interaction in a beautiful, natural, and wholesome environment. Each child is met with respect, warmth, and loving care. The curriculum is created to inspire wonder.

PARENT-CHILD CLASSES

Spend a gentle, nurturing morning with your child under the guiding wing of our Waldorf early childhood teachers. Parents learn ways to support their child’s natural development and to create a healthy and balanced home life through guidance, demonstration, and group sharing, while children build confidence within a gentle, home-like rhythm.

Our environment is warm and nurturing, and we endeavor to give children the opportunities to develop new socialization skills through self-directed play. Children are are gently guided by example and imitation to enable each one to become aware and compassionate human beings.

NURSERY

KINDERGARTEN

Our warm and welcoming environment focuses on play. The activities we provide are designed to encourage the development of the sense of life and well-being.  Our aim is to help the children develop healthy bodies and learn to direct themselves socially, emotionally and in their thinking.
