Download the Parent Child Brochure
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.
Parents come to the Shining Rivers Waldorf School Parent-Child classes 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.

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.
