The transition from kindergarten to first grade in Waldorf education isn’t about pushing academics faster; it’s about honoring the child’s readiness and creating a balanced, engaging environment that supports both intellectual and emotional growth. By fostering a sense of curiosity and joy in learning, Waldorf education ensures that this shift is a natural and nurturing one.
The Parent-Child Program is a special time for caregivers and children to connect in a warm, home-like setting that reflects the friendly atmosphere of a Waldorf early childhood classroom. Through guided play, art projects, and movement games, parents and children interact in ways that foster closeness and understanding. This special time helps create a deep emotional connection, allowing families to grow closer.
