Three Cedars Waldorf School offers a kindergarten experience for children ages five and six. In our kindergarten the child’s imagination is nurtured as a great treasure. Songs, poems, puppet plays and circle games tune the child’s ear to the beauty of language. Bread-baking, drawing, and painting awaken the senses. The use of natural materials—such as wood, silk, or beeswax—appeals to the sense of touch and engenders reverence for nature. Outside play, nature walks, and gardening allow the children to experience the joy of movement.

The expanded age range – including the lovely presence of our preschool age students - allows children varied social options and provides opportunities for rites of passage as each child grows older. The younger children admire their older classmates and anticipate growing themselves. The older children become helpers and develop nurturing qualities that will serve them well in life.  

In the kindergarten, healthy social interactions are guided, listening skills are sharpened and large and fine motor skills are nurtured to fully develop—preparing the young child for future academic challenges in the grade school.

Kindergarten Program Details

Our kindergarten experience hosts children daily from 8:15 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The kindergarten follows the Three Cedars Waldorf School calendar. Extended care is available until 5:30 p.m.

Regular parent evenings are held throughout the school year, as a time for sharing questions and resources. We will also explore the foundations of Waldorf early childhood education. Private annual conferences offer parents time to discuss their child’s development in-depth alone with the teacher.
