Our Waldorf Kindergarten offers a warm, joyful environment where children learn through play, creativity, and meaningful hands-on experiences. Mornings are shared with preschool-aged children in a mixed-age setting that encourages social connection and allows young learners to grow as both mentors and explorers. This multi-year approach nurtures confidence, empathy, and a natural love of learning.
In the Kindergarten-only afternoons, children take part in activities that strengthen fine motor skills, logical thinking, problem-solving, and early literacy and numeracy. Playful, teacher-guided lessons spark curiosity in numbers and patterns, while stories, songs, and poetry enrich language development and foster a lifelong love of reading—laying a joyful and solid foundation for future academic growth.

Rooted in Waldorf principles, our preschool program offers a gentle and joyful foundation for lifelong learning. Through activities such as bread baking, painting, crafting, and counting games, early literacy and numeracy skills blossom naturally. Movement, storytelling, and daily outdoor play nurture the senses, strengthen coordination, and cultivate a deep connection with the rhythms of nature.
Our program welcomes children ages 3–5 and invites them into the joy of learning through play, imagination, and creativity. In a nurturing, mixed-age classroom where Preschool and Kindergarten share their mornings, children develop confidence, curiosity, and strong social connections.

Parent-Child Classes
Ages: 0 to 3 years, with caregiver
Schedule: Varies per session. View registration here
Our Parent–Child Program welcomes families for a morning of play, discovery, and connection—while gently introducing little ones and their caregivers to a school-based setting. Together, children and parents enjoy indoor and outdoor play, circle time with songs and stories, and a wholesome shared snack. These nurturing rhythms support early physical, social, and emotional development, while also helping families build comfort and confidence within our school community.
Designed as a warm bridge into future preschool or kindergarten, the program allows children to explore the classroom environment at their own pace, supported by the reassuring presence of a parent or caregiver. Over time, both child and adult become familiar with our teachers, spaces, and daily rhythms—making the transition to independent school days more natural and joyful.
Classes meet in our cozy classrooms and outdoor spaces. Our classes provide a calm, nurturing setting where families can observe and discuss their children’s growth, enjoy simple snacks, and deepen the parent–child bond, all while beginning to feel at home in the school environment.
Full Year Program

Our full year program follows a familiar schedule and routine modeled off of our school-year preschool program, making it a wonderful way to extend the academic year into a full-year option.
