Parent-Child classes | Fall 2021
We are thrilled to welcome families back to our parent-child program with classes that support the healthy physical, social, and emotional development of young children.
In the coming weeks we will be closely monitoring the CDC and DOH recommendations for school reopening and we will communicate specific COVID-19 health and safety protocols as we receive guidance from the State. We hope to hold the classes indoors but will adjust location as needed dependent on current applicable guidelines.
We are excited to embark on this journey together!

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.
