The Outdoor Homeschool Kindergarten Program

Children between the ages of 4 - 6 years may enter our Outdoor Homeschool Kindergarten Program. This is a 2-day program from 9:45 - 12:45pm.

The Outdoor Homeschool Kindergarten is a  2 - year program designed as an enrichment program to support homeschooling families.  The Kindergarten is a combined class of children who are of that transitional age (4 - 5), and our 2nd year Kindergarteners (5 - 6).   

The Outdoor Kindergarten offers a nurturing environment in which the young child enters into imaginative and dynamic play. Children will experience a typical Waldorf kindergarten day in an outdoor setting.  The children begin their day in the garden classroom, later exploring nature on our 40-acre campus with walks up to the top of Mt. Katherine or Manzanita Mountain.  Hidden wonders are abound in the forest along with all the elements nature and the seasons have to offer.  Practical work takes place under the cob greenhouse in the garden.  

We strive to meet the needs of the whole child as a thinking, feeling, and moving being upon the earth as well as recognize them as a part of a group.  We place a strong focus on social health and inclusion.  Waldorf education is a social education.

"No age has a deeper impact on the whole of life than the first years of childhood. "During those first seven years, children develop their bodily foundation for life."
