Kimberton Waldorf School offers three programs for young children: Parent-Child Circle, Morning Garden Nursery and Kindergarten.

The Waldorf Early Childhood teachers strive to preserve the innocence and innate wonder of early childhood by creating a secure, inviting, joyful environment.  The day unfolds in a natural way following a dependable rhythm that gives the children a sense of security and consistency.  Drawing, watercolour painting, beeswax modelling, baking, handwork, woodwork, storytelling, puppetry, and outdoor play are among the activities that nourish the children’s natural sense of awe and wonder and create an environment worthy of imitation.  The daily and weekly rhythms include seasonal activities such as planting bulbs, raking leaves, gathering fruit or making violet jam.

Toys provided in the Early Childhood programs are simple: wooden toys, shells, stones, logs, branches, colored fabrics, sheep’s wool, and cloth dolls. With these simple toys, imaginative play is nurtured and transforms into creative, independent thought in later stages of learning.
