Sweet Pea
Parent-Child Classes
Parent Child Programs
The Parent-Child Sweet Pea class is a small group of children along with their parent or caregiver that provides an early opportunity to learn more about child development, healthy parenting, and Waldorf education. Through reading, discussion, and most importantly class observation parents learn how to support their children during their first seven years of childhood. This is a unique class designed for both the parent and the child. The goal is to create a calm, loving space for children in class and at home, supporting the child’s natural individuation process. While parallel play is typical at this developmental state, the children begin to connect more and more with one another. They play freely on their own or with peers and begin to be active in their play rather than remain passive and have the parents “play” the toys for them. Through observation and discussion, parents support each other and their children in this new, exciting stage of development.
Sweet Pea classes meet once per week, sessions start in September and run through the end of the school year (May/June). Children need to be 10 months or older when new sessions start in September.
Submit an inquiry to sign up for a Meet and Greet where you and your child will meet the teacher, see the space, and learn more about the program before registering. Meet and Greets run throughout the school year.
