Early childhood program
Our Programs
Our Waldorf Early Childhood classes serve children ages 3-6 years old and nurture each child’s development through gentle and sensory-rich environments and play-based activities that encourage the young child to investigate the natural world, explore social relationships and expand imaginative capacities.
Early Childhood
First time visitors to a Waldorf early childhood classroom are often struck by its beauty, including the natural light and soft hues infused with love and warmth and the cozy play areas supplied with handmade dolls, silks, and toys made from natural materials. These students gain strength and independence through the balance daily rhythm, free play and learning that occurs through the purposeful work activities experienced in every Waldorf kindergarten.
Our Early Childhood Class Activities Include…
group projects like baking bread, cutting vegetables, and measuring ingredients for soups which strengthen children’s confidence, and social awareness and awaken analytical and procedural mathematical concepts, skills, and thinking.
circle time that builds community while exploring music, language patterns, and movement.
artistic activities like painting and molding beeswax that help strengthen developmental readiness, dexterity, and a strong imagination.
These are the building blocks for developing creative thought processes and problem-solving skills later in life. Joy and wonder, as well as a sense of accomplishment, are fostered as children share these experiences of work and play.
