All parents of children enrolled in our 2013-14 Morning 3 and 5-Day Nurseries and Mixed Age Kindergarten Programs should have received a link to a brief online survey regarding our Aftercare program. Your input is essential in our work to provide an aftercare program that meets the needs of our families.
Please take a moment to complete the survey and contact me if you have any questions or comments or if you did not receive the survey.
The Aftercare Program currently meets from 12:30-3 PM and addresses the needs of working parents who want their children to participate in
an afternoon care that is consistent with the principles of Waldorf education. After the active morning the children enjoy lunch (brought from home) followed by a story or a
song and nap. After their rest they will share in an activity and/or a period
of free play followed by a healthy snack (provided by the school) before they
are picked up at 3:00 PM. The intent is not to structure this time with a
whirlwind of activities, but rather to provide a secure daily rhythm within
which the child is free to explore options.
You will be receiving 2013-14 Aftercare Enrollment Forms in July and I will let you know as soon as possible if we will be expanding the program to include extended hours.
Warmly,
Karen Talluto

Afternoon Nursery Family Sample Session on Saturday, June 8th from 11 AM to 1 PM
Join us for an introduction to our Afternoon Nursery Program!
Families will have time to explore one of our classrooms, meet the lead teacher, enjoy samples of lunches that will be served during the program, share in a brief circle and enjoy a puppet show before we visit our outside play area. Learn more about our unique approach to early childhood education at this enjoyable family event!
The event is limited to families with children between 30 months and 4 years of age.
The Afternoon Nursery program focuses on the nurturing of the children's body and spirit. We start the day outside, working in the garden and experiencing the seasonal environment. Upon returning to school the children will share in a hearty lunch that their teacher has prepared with organic ingredients. After lunch the children will have rest time which will help them digest the experience of their day. When they awake they will move on to the daily activities such as drawing, water color painting, seasonal crafts, free play, puppet shows and circle.
The program will meet 3, 4 or 5 afternoons a week, noon-4 pm

Parent Lecture Monday, May 20th at 7 PM
Imagination and the Young Child
Please join us for a discussion as we look into ways in which a young child learns through imagination.
In cultivating the young child's imagination our own imagination plays an essential role to supporting their development and igniting love on their journey to themselves and the world.
How do we strengthen the " living" quality of our own imagination?
Speaker Lisa Bono currently teaches our Bridge and Parent-Child classes. She is also the founding teacher of the New Amsterdam Early Childhood Center.
