Parent-Toddler
Take a moment to breathe, unplug, and connect with your child and other parents and caregivers during our morning Parent-Toddler classes
These simple, sweet, and playful morning gatherings are held in our school's cozy parent-child classrooms, a welcoming child-centered environment that invites exploration and play. We also spend time outdoors (weather permitting!) enjoying the play yards and gardens on our school’s 10-acre campus.
For young children, parent-toddler classes are a gentle, supportive way to start socializing with other children and exploring the world around them. For parents and caregivers, the classes are an opportunity to connect with other families, discuss parenting and Waldorf education, and learn more about their child by quietly observing them at play.
Age: Open to families with children ages 15 months to 2 years 9 months old. For babies under 15 months, please see our Baby & Me Program for families with children birth to 14 months.
Date and time: Parent toddler classes are typically held on Wednesdays and Fridays from 8:45 - 10:45am.
