Discover the magic of our Early Childhood Programs at WSSD! Enjoy the fresh air and childhood experiences of days gone by as you imagine your child on the rope swing or digging in the mud pit. Feel the comfort and beauty of the EC classroom that nourishes all of your senses. You will spend the morning with our trained and experienced Waldorf EC teachers much like your child would have on a daily basis. We will guide you through the benefits of our parent-child Morning Glory Playgroups, the gentle approach and discovery of imagination in our nursery classes, and the active, purposeful programming in the kindergarten.

LEARN & OBSERVE EARLY CHILDHOOD
In the first seven years, a child’s development centers on the physical body, with play as their primary work. Through movement and imagination, neural pathways form, laying the groundwork for future learning. Free, unstructured play fosters creativity, problem solving, and social skills. By imitating what is beautiful, meaningful, and true, children grow with initiative and purpose.
