Program Overview
Our Parent-Child and Playgroup Programs offer a gentle, nurturing environment where young children and their caregivers can experience the warmth and rhythm of Waldorf early childhood education. Together, we will enjoy seasonal songs, movement, free play, wholesome snacks, and outdoor time — all grounded in the peaceful, homelike atmosphere of our early childhood classroom and garden.
