Our Parent-Child classes provide opportunities for families with young children to come together in an age-appropriate, media-free environment to connect and inspire one another. Parents craft a hand-made toy and receive literature on healthy, natural parenting. Classes include a light snack and opportunities for informal conversation with other parents.

 

The Shining Rivers Parent Child classes provide the opportunity for families of young children to come together in an age-appropriate environment to reinvigorate and inspire one another as families. Parents and children participate in activities together such as:

  • Bread Baking
  • Singing and Dancing
  • Puppetry
  • Storytelling
  • Outdoor Play
  • Quiet Social Time

 

Parents receive guidance in Waldorf ways including making age-appropriate natural toys, healthy daily rhythms, songs, and more.

 

Parent-Infant: Expecting to 18 months

Tuesdays: 8:30 a.m. – 10:00 a.m., $160 per 10-week session

This class provides a nurturing atmosphere in which to explore the beautiful and natural unfolding stages of very early childhood. Parents learn simple songs and games to play with their children, and develop their ability to quietly observe and interpret children’s movements, gestures, and vocalizations. The class aims to build on parents’ intuitive knowledge, helping them better understand how to be with their children, but also how to let their children be.

 

Parent-Toddler: 18 months to 3 ½ years

Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays: 9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m., $210 per 10-week session

Together parents and children will enjoy bread baking, singing, dancing, storytelling, and puppetry. Quiet indoor play and outdoor time give opportunities for parallel play and social interaction.

 

 

 

"If there is any one thing that the Waldorf system does, it nurtures, protects, and develops the intelligence of the true child."
