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.

​

8:15 Indoor free play/baking
