About the Provider

Description: Lake Champlain Waldorf School is the largest independent preschool through high school in Vermont. The preschool and kindergarten programs provide a warm, homelike atmosphere and rich natural outdoor environments that support opportunities to learn through imitation and activity. Storytelling, artistic and musical activities, sharing of tasks, snack, imaginative play, movement education and circle time are balanced in the rhythm of the day. This environment nurtures the child's power of creativity, which later develops into intellectual thought. We also offer infant and toddler family classes to support families with young children and to introduce our educational philosophy.
