Spring Parent-Child Garden Class

Spring Parent-Child Garden Class

Garden classes Fridays: March 4- May 20 (no classes April 8 and 15)

Zoom classes Wednesdays: March 2- April 27 (no classes April 6 and 13)

Our Spring parent-child classes begin March 2nd!

Our Parent-Child program is a wonderful way to introduce you and your young child, walking to 3 years old, to the rich, developmental approach of Waldorf Education.

These classes model home and family life and provide an atmosphere of warmth, support and ease to explore the world together in community. Using song, movement and play, the parents observe their child in the company of other adults and children. Parents learn, too, through readings and discussions of the many elements of raising young children, with themes of nourishment, cleaning, play, sleep and discipline among them.

Our Spring session is a hybrid of in-person classes and online classes. Our in-person classes will place in our early childhood garden space, where you and your child will sing, learn simple games, have circle time and a warm nourishing snack to experience the workings of the early childhood program.

The online portion of the course is for parents only. The aim is to find ways to make home a sanctuary, where daily life can flow more efficiently to serve a household with very young children. Topics include practical ways to create a workable home rhythm to nourish a family with young children through play, attention to the senses, and ways to include very young children with simple household tasks.
