Head. Heart. Hands.
Roots
Parent Child Classes (18 moths - 3 years)
The Roots program is a parent child group designed to be both a community of support and connection for parents as well as a first taste of school for young children. Together we engage in seasonally appropriate, meaningful activities, both indoors and outdoors, which nurture parent and child in the world of the senses, rhythm, and wonder.

Kindergarten
Ages 5 yrs - 7 yrs
Our mixed aged Kindergarten provides a gentle bridge into the classroom community based upon the principles of Waldorf Education. We are guided by the notion that children learn best when the whole child- head, heart, and hands- is fully engaged. Abundant opportunities for open-ended free play, lively movement and artistic expression during the preschool years provide a strong foundation for healthy physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development.

Grades
Lower Grades ( 1 / 2 / 3 )
Upper Grades ( 4 / 5 / 6 )
Our classes are divided into same age groupings for core Waldorf themes, specialty classes and socializing. Track lessons are taught with mixed ‘ages and stages’, lessons brought through cooperative games in the autumn quarter, as students are assessed by abilities. This helps teachers work with groups that have similar skills and allow mobility within groups as students reach their ‘grade levels’ in literacy and numeracy.
Monday thru Thursday - 3 days or 4 days options
9am to 3pm
Burlington Campus
Outdoor Ed
Grades 1 thru 6
This class will facilitate children in creating a new relationship to themselves, each other, community, and nature. Children will receive the experience of being outside with minimal restrictions, as well as having choices in curriculum based on their own interests. Teachers will offer tutorials throughout the day, letting children spend their day studying plants, animals, plant spirit medicine, primitive skills, or the ecosystem as their curiosity leads them.
