In the Waldorf Early Childhood programs the seeds for a love of work and learning are sown and continue to grow with the child. The young childs school day contains a familiar rhythm that repeats each week as the seasons pass. Natures cycles and festivals define the work as seasonal songs verses stories and crafts fill the mornings.
In the pre-school years the child learns primarily through his own need to be active and his uncanny ability to imitate all that surrounds him. Teachers bring rhythmic activities in an atmosphere of beauty warmth and harmony to nourish his blossoming creative thinking upon which all future abstract thought will be built. Simple materials from nature provide the stimulus for creative play which develops imagination concentration coordination language and number skills that will be called forth in the elementary years.
