Description: OUR SCHOOL DAY is founded on the ideals and practices of early childhood Waldorf education as developed by Rudolf Steiner and is structured to give children the opportunity to learn through movement, imitation and exploration. The teachers provide the routines and rituals of the days, weeks and seasons, allowing for a secure and rich environment for the unfolding of each child.
The day begins with free play. Our simple wooden and handmade toys become whatever the child imagines—puppet shows are performed, bridges and roads are built for trucks, houses and living spaces are made and remade—while the children transform into queens and kings, kittens, cooks, doctors and astronauts.
Holding this space for play, the teachers are engaged in practical activities the children can enter at will: peeling carrots and washing fruit for morning snack, folding napkins for the setting of the table, molding beeswax with warm fingers and felting wool.
