Our Kindergarten
“Receive children in reverence, educate them in love, and let them go forth in freedom.” —Rudolf Steiner

Our Offerings
In our play-based kindergarten, we seek to awaken and nourish the young child’s creative and playful nature and to nurture their sense of wonder, reverence, and gratitude. Through imaginative free play, developmental movement, storytelling, songs, painting, craftwork, cooking and baking, and lots of time in nature, the children are completely immersed in a warm and loving environment where they are free to unfold. Children have the opportunity to socialize and delight in exploring and playing with new friends.

Parent-Supported
Our kindergarten relies on parents’ active involvement in our classroom and community, as well as the organization of our seasonal activities. Our teachers demonstrate a strong respect and love for children, along with a commitment to their facilitative role in the families’ growth and learning. We focus on teaching imaginatively through the arts as a way to help learning become practical and alive, and practice an intentional honoring of each child’s unfolding process, respecting that this happens at whatever pace is right for the individual child. We hope to grow a cohesive community of co-op families who form strong relationships and will be supportive of one another generously through life’s ups and downs.
