Adults share an artistic activity while the children play together in the Toddler & Parent Groups. The morning flows rhythmically through guided activities, which include circle time and outside play.  For further information regarding our fall of 2009 schedule please call the Admissions Director at 575-7194 ext. 102.

Through quiet observation of the children as they move and play, adults deepen their own intuitive knowledge and discover new ways of seeing their children.

Many of the difficult questions facing parents today are explored in a spirit of inquiry and mutual respect. Articles on various topics for inspiration and discussion are provided. We strive to create a peaceful and nurturing experience for both parent and child.

Parent/Child Preschool

As an extension of our Roots & Shoots Parent/Child Program, a new class has been created, as an introduction to our Early Childhood Program. It is called - 'The Blossoms' and is for children ages 2 '/2 - 3+ yrs. and their parents.

This class will begin in fall and continue through the end of the school year, meeting one day a week.  The class may include an artistic activity for the parents and concentrated focus on parent education (offering parents a unique opportunity to deepen their understanding of parenting the young child with an experienced Waldorf educator); a snack time, possibly with homemade bread; singing games and circle time; a simple puppet play and story; nature walks on our beautiful campus; and a rest time for all, in which parents will be taught lullabies. At a point in time when all are comfortable, the parents transition out of the classroom, enabling their children to begin the adjustment of experiencing school on their own.  For further information regarding our fall of 2009 schedule please call the Admissions Director at 575-7194 ext. 102.
