What
is a Steiner-Waldorf Prep Class?
A Prep class is the culminating 1 or 2 years (based on when the child turns 6 years of age) of the Early Childhood Years in preparation for Class 1. Since the child around the age of 5 has capacity for a longer attention span and is able to work in a group better, the Prep program provides a stronger experience of ‘doing’ activities like painting, knitting, sewing, circle time, 2nd & 3rd language exposure through songs, cooking, gardening and plenty of time for free play in an extended day 9am to 3pm. The afternoon is reserved for a post lunch nap, story & outdoor play at school. There is NO writing and reading but learning happens in a myriad of ways in preparation for Class 1.
