Prerana Waldorf School

A Waldorf kindergarten provides a relaxed and joyful transition from early childhood to the the grade school by creating a warm, home-like atmosphere where the child’s inherent abilities can naturally unfold.

We consciously build a strong foundation during these years by encouraging imaginative free play, the young child learns most deeply through imitation and engaging in meaningful activities. One might even say that play is the work of the young child, a notion that is supported by many scientific studies. So, we avoid actual academic instruction at this age, but through artistic activities such as painting, music, handcrafts, story telling, nature walks, and practical activities such as baking and cooking, we help the child discover their world and prepare a solid basis for future intellectual work.
