Inspiring Life-long Learning for 25 Years
With a rhythm that mirrors our early childhood classrooms, the Parent-Child program is an ideal introduction for children who may continue their Waldorf education.
Storytelling
Storytelling, circle games, and seasonal crafts are the building blocks of our day. Simple wooden toys and child-size furnishings create a cozy sanctuary for sprouting imaginations.
Classrooms
Classrooms are naturally lit with window and candlelight and decorated with fresh flowers from our gardens when the season permits. Together we bake bread for our daily snack.
Outdoors
Time outdoors is a priority—sunshine, rain, or snow. Our campus has gardens and playgrounds made of natural materials—wood, rope, sand, and earth—where children can run, swing, climb, and explore.
Parents often make discoveries of their own during our classes, as we discuss the importance of establishing a rhythm at home and how best to implement Waldorf principles in their own family lives.
We offer classes for children aged 18 months to 3 ½ years to attend with a parent, grandparent, or caregiver.
Classes meet once weekly and offer children rich opportunities, indoors and out, to develop their bodies and engage their minds.

Class Experience
Parent-Child class, for children ages 18 months – 3.5 years, mirrors the rhythms and activities of a Waldorf Early Childhood classroom. Parents/caregivers accompany their children in circle and story time, creating simple crafts, baking bread, playing games and enjoying physical movement. Outdoor play time is included in each class in all but the most inclement weather. Parents have an opportunity to mingle with each other to discover the framework of Waldorf-inspired best practices. Parents explore the importance of rhythm in the home, the role of early moment in motor organization and speech development, and how to support their child’s budding interest in play.
