Winter (Thurs) - Ages 12-20 Months

Parent-child classes at Emerson Waldorf School provide a supportive and welcoming environment for both children and caregivers on a weekly basis. We encourage freedom of movement and self-initiated play for the children, while parents and caregivers will practice the art of observation, meaningful work and the opportunity to learn from one another and grow as a community through sharing common experiences.

Spend a gentle, nurturing morning with your child under the guiding wing of our Waldorf early childhood teachers. Parents learn ways to support their child’s natural development and to create a healthy and balanced home life through guidance, demonstration, and group sharing, while children build confidence within a gentle, home-like rhythm.

In our Morning Garden classes, children take time to socialize and learn through play and exploration, while adults focus on mindfulness and setting the tone with meaningful work. A rich morning of indoor and outdoor activities will facilitate free gross motor movement and engage with young children’s innate capacity for learning through imitation. A homemade snack, a delightful circle of songs, gesture and lap games, and a puppet story round out the morning.

This session is 8 weeks long and is for children aged 12-20 months and their parent or adult guardian (this program is not for Nannies).
