Parent Child Classes
Join our Parent-Child Program—a warm, welcoming space where young children and their caregivers come together to explore the rhythms of a nurturing early childhood environment. Designed for parents and children to share meaningful moments, this shortened class mirrors the comforting flow of a Waldorf early childhood classroom.
In each session, your child will enjoy a gentle introduction to social experiences through circle time, storytelling, simple crafts, movement, nature play, and seasonal activities, both indoors and outdoors. Parents will actively participate alongside their children, building deeper connections while gaining valuable insights into parenting topics such as:
Healthy sleep and nutrition habits
Positive discipline strategies
Media and screen time awareness
The power of play in early childhood
Honoring family traditions
Exploring alternative education and schooling choices
Our classes foster not only child development but also parent growth and community. Many families form lifelong friendships through this shared journey of discovery and support.
Program Highlights:
Nurturing, home-like setting guided by Waldorf early childhood principles
Mixed indoor/outdoor classes – please bring appropriate rain gear
Younger siblings under 18 months may attend free of charge
A perfect way to ease into the Waldorf approach before full-time preschool or kindergarten
What to Bring
Outdoor Clothing: Please bring outdoor clothing for the weather each week for you and your child, as we plan to end each session enjoying play outdoors.
Indoor Shoes: Please bring indoor shoes for yourself and your child. When you arrive, you may switch out of your street shoes and into your indoor shoes. Shoes should be non-slip and soft soled. Examples might include: socks with rubber grips on the bottom, leather moccasins, etc.
Water bottle: Please have a full bottle of water for yourself and your child. We will do enjoy caffeine-free tea together, but we recognize that it’s helpful to have water available as well.
Nut-free Potluck Snack: We would appreciate each family bringing a dish to pass during snack time. We are asking that no sugary snacks be brought. The dish should be nourishing and something your child will eat. If you are running late and don't have a snack to bring, we can rely on each other that there will always be plenty!
We ask that you and your child eat a hearty breakfast and that no snacks be offered during class time except when we gather as a group for snack time. This is a beautiful part of our class rhythm!
If you or your child has a severe allergy, please indicate so in the registration process so the teacher and group can be notified.
