parent/child
In our Parent Child classes, children and caregivers will experience a morning that echoes the rhythms and activities of a Waldorf Early Childhood morning. This class offers a place to learn about Waldorf education, explore child development and discuss common parenting concerns, as well as connect with other parents/caregivers of young children. You will be led by a skillful classroom teacher to appreciate the experience through the eyes of your child.
During this time together, you and your child may enjoy puppet plays, circle time, play and exploration, poems and songs about the natural world and occasional seasonal crafts.
