Preschool through Kindergarten
In Linden Waldorf’s Early Childhood program, your child’s work is play. From the beautiful, open-ended toys inside to leaves, moss, and stones outside, everything in the environment stands ready to be enlivened by your child’s imagination. With the teacher’s gentle guidance, your child flows through a rhythmic day balanced between free play and structured activities. Children enjoy storytelling, puppetry, seasonal songs and rhymes, movement, baking and snack preparation, sewing, crafting, and abundant outdoor play and exploration in all seasons.
As children age through the program, the complexities of projects and tasks deepen and they gradually take on more responsibility in the class. In kindergarten, students begin to engage more formally with special subject classes such as Spanish, Handwork, Movement, and Music. Your child’s day is full of delight and discovery as they connect with teachers and friends, building social-emotional intelligence and resilience while laying the groundwork for literacy, math, science, and critical thinking.
