Each of our early childhood classes provides a warm, secure environment where the young child’s primary “work” is to play. In colorful rooms filled with natural playthings, preschool children explore their imaginations, their physical abilities, their artistic impulses, and the natural world. Children learn best by doing, and in Waldorf classrooms children sing, paint, sew, bake, hammer, and saw. They perform puppet plays, dress up, and transform logs, chairs and cloth into ships and castles, houses and trains. In addition, they spend a considerable amount of time outdoors, exploring and building, gardening and creating with their friends. Early childhood is the time to lay the foundations for later learning. The focus on imitative and imaginative play develops the power of creative thinking, preparing children for the academics of the grade school years. It is in these years that children develop problem-solving and social skills. With a healthy physical development, an active imagination, and a true reverence for the world, children are ready for the challenges of first grade.
