Class Description

Welcome to our Cottage Rose Kindergarten!

Hello Families!  I love golden sunshine, magical forests and joyful meadows. All of nature has a feeling like a wonderful secret waiting to be found. It is in this feeling that I live and thrive, and I love to bring this feeling to the children! A world of wonder, goodness and beauty. It can be found not only in forests, meadows, streams and nature but everywhere you look. And it is good even for us to keep finding it when the world seems so lost in strife. Along with a nurturing daily and seasonal rhythm, we will find this wonder, magic and beauty wherever we go over the course of our year or two together ~ and we will have help from some special little friends!

In our time together in our Cottage Rose Kindergarten you will get our Weekly Guide which is a lesson plan that will include the following elements and can be found in the Portal:

Videos for the Children with accompanying PDFs for the parent, as needed:

~Seasonal Circle Journey that includes songs, verses and nourishing developmental movement.

~Puppet Show and/or Story

~Movement 

~A flexible rotation of Drawing and Beeswax Modeling

~Cooking or Baking Time 

~Handwork or craft

(Parents will still need to help the children in the above activities but the videos are geared toward the child!)

For the Parent:

~Daily, weekly and seasonal rhythm guidance including information on Festivals and birthdays

~Steiner Meditation from Calendar of the Soul

~Book Club Chapters or Article on Early Childhood and/or Waldorf Pedagogy

~PDFs or audios to accompany the activities above for the children.

With Gratitude and Blessings,

Ms. Katie
