OUR PROGRAMS




ROOTS AND SHOOTS PARENT CHILD PROGRAM




The Roots and Shoots Parent class supports parents and caregivers of very young children by offering a warm and welcoming environment in which to meet with others facilitated by an experienced and trained Waldorf teacher in a beautiful setting. We are nurturing and building a community of caregivers. Our vision is grounded in the living inquiries of today's parenting community.

Each week we will gather for lively discussion, observation, baking and time for singing and finger games. Topics may include setting up an environment where children are safe and may cultivate the habit of independent play, setting boundaries while remaining calm and establishing a rhythm in which you and your child are thriving.

Expectant parents are also welcome! 




2024 Winter/Spring Session is full.


This group is now full. If you are interested in being on our mailing list to hear about new opportunities for enrolling please fill out this FORM.

Sprout Nursery, Acorn & Oak Mixed Age Kindergarten

ACORN WALDORF SCHOOL offers an exceptional nursery & mixed age kindergarten program designed for the young child. Wish to learn more? Email us with any questions.


Here, we cultivate a space for intelligent play, allowing the children to engage with the physical world and each other. This is the true work of childhood, the essential basis for critical thinking, problem solving, and social interaction. In our warm, home-like atmosphere, the children are guarded from sensory overload (so ubiquitous in our culture) that can disrupt and even arrest this fundamental activity from finding expression. Journeying through the year we honor the seasons and celebrate festivals. The daily rhythm balances time spent indoors and out, restful times with active, and individual with group activities. This provides a nurturing and sustaining creative space, fostering self-confidence, physical health, and social intuition.


Experiential tasks, great and small, build the foundation for cognitive learning. With song and story, literacy and linguistic capacity are strengthened, along with a sense of the beauty and expressiveness of language. Counting games and rhyme provide a solid basis for memory and mathematical skills. Concentration, small-muscle development, and hand-eye coordination are all skills significantly promoted through tasks such as baking, braiding, finger crocheting, sewing, modeling with beeswax, and watercolor painting. All these elements work together, creating not only a superior foundation for elementary school learning, but also a basis in areas such as artistic ability, ethical values, social awareness, resilience, and health.


2024-25 Enrollment will open in mid-February.
