In our Parent-Child Program, each session guides parents in recognizing and supporting their children’s emerging interests and abilities.
Rudolf Steiner School’s expert and nurturing teachers create a loving and safe environment for babies and toddlers to engage in free, self-initiated play. Simple toys made of natural materials, such as wood and wool, allow children to deeply explore their senses and capacities. Activities include bread baking, and learning songs and finger games to use at home to enliven children’s imagination.
Adults will find a welcoming environment to share questions, experiences, and insights about their children and their own development as parents. Conversations and observations invite parents to reflect on ways to navigate parenting with care and respect for their children and themselves, and to nourish and strengthen their family life.
For our incoming Nursery families, the Spring session of the Parent-Child Program has been a great support in transitioning families into a gentle start in September. Children and parents get to know each other and spend time together, sharing expectations, doubts and insights on their upcoming shift from home to a school environment.
Our Parent-Child classes evolve according to the children’s changing needs—from gentle songs for babies to emotional support in first social interactions of toddlers.
Rudolf Steiner School is an oasis nestled in the heart of Manhattan. Our students develop a deep love for, and understanding of, nature from an early age. In the spring, we offer an outdoor Parent-Child Program that takes place in neighboring Central Park. This gives families a glimpse into the importance of the outdoor component of our school curriculum in grades Nursery-12.
The Parent-Child Program is a family’s first step into our school’s vibrant community. Parents are invited to attend lectures on child development and education, and to participate in school events, such as the Fall Fair, apple picking, musical concerts, and more. Weekly craft sessions and workshops are also a wonderful way of finding support and friendship.
