Parent / Child Program
Fall & Spring Sessions
Taught by Paula Williams
The Parent-Child class is a small group of children along with their parent or caregiver that provides an early opportunity to learn more about Waldorf Education and healthy parenting. Through reading, discussion, and most importantly child observation parents learn how to support their children during their first seven years of childhood. This is a unique class designed for both the parent and the child. The goal is to create a calm, loving space for children in class and at home, supporting the child’s natural individuation process. While parallel play is typical at this developmental state, the children begin to connect more and more with one another. They play freely on their own or with peers and to begin to be active in their play rather than remain passive and have the parents “play” the toys for them. Through observation and discussion, parents support each other and their children in this new, exciting stage of development.
