Early Childhood

(For newborns through pre-crawlers)

This gentle weekly gathering welcomes expectant parents and caregivers with infants. Together we create a calm, nurturing environment where babies are held in warmth and safety, and parents find encouragement and companionship through the early months of parenthood.

Through shared experience and guidance, families explore Waldorf-inspired practices that bring rhythm, warmth, and harmony to daily life — preparing for birth, caring for a newborn, and finding balance at home. Parents build community, deepen their confidence, and discover renewed inspiration for family life. Babies thrive in an atmosphere that honors their natural development and quiet wonder.

(For crawlers & walkers)

Our Parent/Child classes offer a nurturing sanctuary for families in the earliest years. Grounded in the gentle rhythms of home life, this program invites young children and their caregivers into a warm, welcoming space to connect, slow down, and grow together.

Together, participants engage in storytelling and songs, outdoor exploration, simple adult crafts, child observation, and the shared experience of Waldorf circle time, snack, and story. Conversation and study help parents deepen their intuitive knowledge and feel more confident in their parenting. A unique and invaluable part of the class is the opportunity for parents to step back and observe their children at play, gaining insights into their development, natural inclinations, and growing independence. This tender and rhythmic environment supports bonding, insight, and joyful connection.

Our Nursery class offers a gentle bridge from home to school. Nestled in the security of daily, weekly, and seasonal rhythms, young children build confidence and trust in the world beyond their families. Children explore language through finger-plays, games, poetry, song, and stories. Ample opportunities for large movement allow children to integrate sensorimotor systems, and social development is fostered as children learn to navigate the dynamics of working and playing with others.

We will offer a 4-day Nursery Class, starting in Fall of 2026.

There are currently no openings. Please submit an inquiry to be added to the waitlist for the next class.

(Pre-K & Kindergarten)

The Mixed-Age Early Childhood classroom is a warm, lively environment where children learn through imitation, play, and meaningful daily rhythms. Within this nurturing structure, they develop confidence, independence, and trust in the world beyond home.

Social connection is at the heart of the classroom: older children model leadership while younger ones learn through observation and collaboration. Through handwork, circle time, outdoor play, and simple daily tasks like preparing snacks or caring for the classroom, children strengthen both fine and gross motor skills while building self-regulation and responsibility. Early literacy and numeracy emerge naturally through stories, songs, games, and everyday experiences such as counting, measuring, and exploring nature’s transformations.

Our Mixed-Age Early Childhood program offers a warm, joyful welcome to the world of school.

Class meets 8:30 am – 12:15 pm

2-Day Program: Mondays & Tuesdays

3-Day Program: Wednesdays – Fridays

Rest Nest is our extended-day program for children who are enrolled in the Mixed-Age Early Childhood (PreK/K). It offers a gentle rhythm distinct from the energetic morning. After eating a lunch, children ease into rest and quiet time in a warm, home-like classroom. The afternoon closes with outdoor play in a small group, providing both nourishment and balance. With consistency and care, Rest Nest offers children a safe and peaceful space to restore and integrate the day’s experiences.

Rest Nest meets from 12:15 pm – 2:45 pm.
