Morning Garden Parent-Child Program: Weekly & 2-Day Transition Class
Morning Garden is, for many families, a first experience of Waldorf education. This parent-child program is designed for children between the ages of two through four, and offers either a weekly, or 2-day Transition class option. Younger siblings are welcome!
The morning begins with outdoor playtime, and once in the classroom, the teacher leads the group in circle time with finger plays, songs and seasonal verses. Circle time is followed by preparation of the morning snack (with the help of parents and children) as well as a craft activity for the adults. After snack, there is a time for free play when the children can be with their parents or join in play with other children. The morning ends with the telling of a lovely, seasonal puppet story with which is both enchanting and perfect for this age group. Morning Garden provides a place for parents to share stories and friendship in a warm, nurturing environment.
