Parents & Tots Program - for children ages 16 months to 3 yearsOffered at our Mt. Airy campus, the Parents & Tots program provides an opportunity for young children and their parents or caregivers to come together in a warm and nurturing environment where children are introduced to their first school experience. With a thoughtful and gentle structure and rhythm, the foundation for a life-long love of learning is fostered, a natural stepping stone to our child-only Nursery program. Our experienced and trained Parents & Tots teacher leads the class in a Circle Time of seasonal games and songs and brings storytelling through puppetry. As the children engage in Free Play with imagination-inspiring Waldorf toys and tools, parents and caregivers observe the children in a social group of peers. As the children work and play together, the adults engage in and model the “work” for the classroom: helping to prepare the delicious and healthy morning snack, creating toys and making seasonal crafts for the home as well as taking a part in guided discussions of each session's class book on parenting and child development. An appreciation of the child’s natural capacity for imaginative play and the world of nature sets a mood of wonder, reverence, and enthusiasm for the tasks at hand. These activities develop the building blocks for future intellectual growth through Language Arts, Mathematics, Artistic Practice, Social Skills and Good Work Habits.
