Sweet Peas Program

Young children learn primarily through the imitation and example of the people and activities around them. Joyful experiences with parents and care-givers build a healthy sense of self, and provide a strong foundation for future social relationships.

This six-week course for parents and their young ones provides parents with practical tools for the task of raising children. The setting is warm, simple, and home-like. The rhythmic flow and creativity of the morning activities enhance the young child’s mental, physical, and emotional development. Over the course of the six weeks, parents discuss child development topics, make beautiful crafts, and learn songs and stories. In addition, a delicious snack is provided. The children see the adults engaged in meaningful activities, while parents have an opportunity to observe the children at play.

Waldorf taught me how to think for myself, to be accountable for my actions, to be a good listener, and to be sensitive to the needs of others. It also helped me to focus on the underlying importance of beliefs and values that are the foundation of good leadership.
