"What we have heard leveled at the Waldorf schools is "What will happen to my child out there in the world if he doesn't learn to read and write very quickly?" The issue is that the child's greatest strength for survival in a world of madness is to be totally whole, sane and in touch with the heart. The beauty of the Waldorf school is that it is designed entirely to keep children intact until they are ready to move out into the world as whole individuals."
Growing Together
"GROWING TOGETHER" programs for moms, dads and children are designed to meet the needs of
the young child. The programs are offered on Fridays in Norwalk. Classes meet from
9:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. Additional playgroups are forming in the Stamford area. Our classes for parents and children ages 2 months to 4 years will be led by a trained early childhood Waldorf teacher. Come and experience the warm and homelike environment featuring natural, handmade materials. Join in free play, circle time, puppetry, snacks and outdoor play. Learn about the wonderful benefits and meaningful results moms, dads and their children realize from these special programs! This will become a weekly activity time that you and your child will cherish. The Honey Bears

In the pre-school years, children learn primarily through play, free movement and the innate
ability to imitate all that surrounds them. Our teacher-facilitated classes, held in a
homelike setting filled with beauty and warmth, offer rich opportunities for play-based
learning. Hand-made toys and play materials from nature nourish the young child's developing
senses, as they provide stimulus for creative play.
Today's scientific research continues to support what Waldorf education has shown for many years: When young children are given the opportunity to learn through play, this stimulus fosters imagination, concentration, coordination, language and number skills - capacities which lay a sound foundation for intellectual development in the elementary school years and beyond. Our weekly two-hour classes provide a nurturing setting for meeting other parents, sharing unhurried moments with your child, or simply observing him/her in play and social interaction. We offer Parent/Infant and Parents/Child playgroups designed to meet the developmental needs of children ages two months up to four years. Our day often includes these activities:
