A weekly class for children ages birth to 4 years old and their parents, our Parent-Tot program is a great way for parents to explore Waldorf early childhood education, and gain confidence in building a secure bridge to the young child’s expanding world.

The Parent-Tot class brings parents and children together once a week in a nurturing environment. We work and play together, prepare a snack, celebrate the seasons, and enjoy songs, stories and finger games. We use a rhythmical structure of work and imaginative play to develop skills for healthy social interactions. Seasonal crafts and activities include felting, sewing, and making simple dolls and toys.

Daily Rhythm

The rhythmical structure of our Parent-Tot program helps young children and parents feel secure. Our sessions include:

  • Arrival
  • Indoor play and parent craft activity
  • Circle with songs, finger games, movements, and verse
  • Outdoor play on school grounds
  • Closing & Goodbye
