A PARENT-TODDLER PLAYGROUP
FOR CHILDREN 12 MONTHS - 3 YEARS OLD
Parent-Toddler Playgroup is a gentle program for children 12 months - 3 years old, accompanied by a parent or caregiver. Playgroup offers a wonderful opportunity to meet new families, make new friends, and join a Waldorf-inspired playgroup.
Playgroup is taught by an Early Childhood Teacher with a Waldorf Teaching Certificate, with the daily rhythm inspired by the gentle principles of Waldorf education. Young children thrive on rhythm and predictability. Each Playgroup follows the same familiar rhythm, week after week. Free Play, songs, verses, a puppet play story, a snack of muffins and warm rose tea - all unfold in the same order at each playgroup, so toddlers know exactly what to expect and their nervous systems can settle. Through this gentle repetition, the songs and verses become well-known, and children begin to confidently join in. This sense of safety is what allows young children to explore, play, imagine and to be fully present in the experience of Playgroup.
Playgroup meets once a week, and is held in 6-week sessions each season: Fall, Holiday, and Spring.
Two playgroups are held each season.
INDOOR/OUTDOOR PLAYGROUP
The Indoor/Outdoor Playgroup begins within The Haven Preschool classroom, and includes: indoor play, circle time songs, a puppet story, and a simple homemade snack and warm tea. We will then venture outside to the preschool playyard for outdoor free play and our goodbye song.
Thursdays, 9:30am - 10:45am
The Haven Preschool
OUTDOOR ONLY PLAYGROUP
The Outdoor Playgroup begins with a neighborhood walk to a nearby duck pond. We will then venture back to The Haven Preschool playyard and stump circle, where we will enjoy circle time songs, a puppet story, and a simple homemade snack and warm tea. Then the children will have the opportunity for outdoor free play within the playyard, before closing with our goodbye song.
