- The benefits of Waldorf education
- How the Waldorf curriculum supports early childhood development
About Our ECE Program
In our classrooms, children gradually become accustomed to working within a group, listening to stories, interacting with a teacher, and following a daily routine, while at the same time being supported in his or her development as an individual through the encouragement of creative play, practical life skills, and artistic opportunities.
Each teacher deeply understands the young child and the need for movement, as well as the child’s devotion to learning about the world through imitating everything he or she experiences. We follow seasonal rhythms and in parallel, honor your child’s gradual transition from home to school and childhood to adulthood.
