Early Childhood
What is the day?
Children begin their day in a beautiful classroom or nearby outdoor spot. They enjoy seasonal songs, movement, storytelling, puppetry, crafts, painting, soup making, bread baking, beeswax modeling, and creative play. Each day is harmonious, balanced between structured activity and open-ended exploration, rest and motion, indoor time and time in nature. From nursery to kindergarten, the rhythm, responsibilities, and the complexity of tasks deepen.
What is the difference?
Children explore and connect with teachers and friends. They work joyfully, creatively, and cooperatively. Teachers—experts in early childhood development—understand each child. Their curriculum of movement, eurythmy, practical tasks, and nature exploration integrates the senses and develops sequencing, balance, fine-motor skills, regulation, and executive function. Stories and games build a foundation for reading, mathematics, scientific inquiry, and for life.
Kindergarten
Our two-year, mixed-age program supports children’s developing abilities as they cross a milestone, from the world of imagination towards a more concrete way of thinking. Careful preparation and assessment ensures readiness for grade school academics.
Nursery
Teachers work with families to ensure a smooth transition to school that supports each child’s social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development. A balanced routine gives children the security from which to explore freely, confidently, and joyfully.
