Marigold Preschool & Mixed Aged Kindergarten
Our Marigold Preschool & Mixed Age Kindergarten program is for 3, 4, 5, and 6 year olds. Our morning runs from 8:15 AM to 12 PM. Following the principles of Waldorf education, our classroom gives children the opportunity to socialize with their peers. Older children provide a model for the younger ones, and all children benefit from a family-like atmosphere.
There is much work to be done in a Waldorf kindergarten. In addition to free play, children participate in preparing the snack, dusting and polishing toys, and washing the dishes. The life skills that the young child learns in a nurturing and enjoyable way are essential as a foundation for their future experiences as a capable and responsible adult.
Our Morning Rhythm is...
8:15 Indoor free play/baking
9:15 Clean up and bathroom
9:30 Bird snack and rest
9:45 Circle Time
10:05 Snack
10:30 Clean up/wash dishes

11:45 Story
12:00 Goodbye
