All children posses a fresh natural sense of wonder and yearn to express this capacity in a social environment with other children.  Our Early Childhood programs allow their childhood gifts to unfold in a gentle atmosphere of beauty, naturalness and human warmth.

The first seven years of a child’s life is devoted to the development of the physical body.  During this time in the kindergarten, play is the child’s work.  Through creative and imaginative play, children are building the foundation for later academic learning.  In this important time of life, these young children learn though imitating the world around them.  If children are given the opportunity to imitate that, which is beautiful, meaningful and true, then they are able to go forth in life with initiative and purpose. 

 
The kindergarten teacher is the model for the child in meaningful movements, in purposeful use of language and in the cultivation of beauty.  The Waldorf Kindergarten Teacher is a specially trained individual who, through rhythm, repetition and reverence, is able to create a wholesome environment that nurtures the physical, emotional, social and spiritual development of each child.
