For Caregivers & Their Children 3 years of age and under.

Parent & Child is a weekly playgroup for infants and/or toddlers to attend with a caregiver. Classes are small in size, and will be offered in four sessions from September to June, once per week.
This class is an opportunity for families to meet on a regular basis, form relationships, share parenting insights, and feel supported in their lives with young children. Facilitated by an experienced Waldorf teacher in a home-like setting, each class includes a circle time with songs, movement and rhymes, a nourishing snack, a time to play and a story.

The following age groupings are offered:

Infant Classes
birth – walking

This class is specifically designed to meet the youngest members of our community. It focuses on supporting an infant’s healthy development and establishing secure attachments between parent and child.  As babies begin to explore their environment, this class provides a supportive atmosphere for little ones to develop their new-found skills.

Toddler Classes
walking – 3 years old (children who are not yet eligible for Junior Kindergarten)

This class serves the child who is more physically capable and verbally expressive. It honours and encourages the child’s natural abilities, recognizing the need for lots of movement and imaginative play. It offers parents help in establishing healthy routines, communicating effectively with their young child, and in supporting the significant growth that happens in these early years.

Parent & Child classes will be offered in four sessions per year:

  • Fall Session Part One: September – October
  • Fall Session Part Two: November – December
  • Winter Session: January – March
  • Spring Session: March – June

The cost for this program is dependent on the number of classes per session.

Parent & Child Age Guidelines:

  • Infant Classes are available for one child from birth up to walking age to attend with a caregiver. Registration in an Infant Class is for one child, and a separate caregiver must attend the class with each child registered.
