"In a society that may be nudging children prematurely into adulthood, Waldorf schools try to preserve the magic and fairy-tale wonder of being a child." - Parenting Magazine
Parent and Child Program 2010-2011
Mondays and Tuesdays
Spring Session
Great River School Parent and Child program serves to enliven, enrich, and support parents in creating a home life which fosters the healthy and joyful growth of early childhood.
It is an opportunity for parents and their young children (birth to 3 years) to engage in activities of creative play, song, verses, movement games, stories and puppet plays, painting, and snack. Activities are presented in a rhythmical way to ensure that children feel comfortable and secure. While the children play, parents are encouraged to engage in a purpose project. Working together parents have an opportunity to discuss topics that
relate to parenting and education.
Program Facilitator Margo Bisson an experienced Early Childhood Waldorf teacher who is happy to share her wealth of knowledge with parents as well as to engage the children in lively play, joyful songs and delightful puppet storytelling.
The Program is offered one morning a week, either Monday or Tuesday from 9:00-11:30
