In the Toddler playgroup young children and their parents will experience the rhythms of a preschool morning here at our school. In the inviting environment of a Waldorf classroom, parents engage in home-like activites or make simple crafts while their children help them or play nearby. Circle and story reflect the world of nature and the seasons. During snack or outside time parents can discuss parenting issues and ask questions about the provided reading material.

 


Baby Playgroup

Baby Playgroup (6 weeks to crawlers)

This playgroup is an opportunity for parents and their baby to come together once a week in a warm, rhythmical, home-like environment. Through observation we will learn how to support and nurture the child's natural growth and development. Time is set aside for circle activities including simple songs, games and lullabies. At snack time parents can discuss parenting issues and ask questions about the provided reading material.

What is a Waldorf School?

What is a Waldorf School?

A promotional video made for the Steiner Fellowship in the UK. It explains some of the philosophies behind the educational approaches of Rudolf Steiner (also known as Waldorf) Schools.

"When Waldorf students reach us at the college level, they are grounded broadly and deeply and have a remarkable enthusiasm for learning. Such students possess the eye of discoverers and the compassionate heart of the reformer, which, when joined to a task, can change the planet.”
