LEARNING + PLAY
Parent and child classes Early childhood is a time of unfolding, a pivotal developmental stage that lays the foundation for your child’s life. Our programs allow children the time and space they need to develop capacities in a safe and nurturing environment. We follow a rhythmical structure of work and imaginative play to nourish skills of healthy social interaction. Each day includes time in our play yard to instill an appreciation of the natural world. Inspired by Waldorf education, our weekly classes also offer education and support for parents to cultivate the innate skills necessary to grow healthy families. Now enrolling for fall.
