Sprouts Kinderschool
Early childhood education at our Roots Campus. Sprouts Kinderschool is a Waldorf-inspired creative learning experience for children ages 4.5 — 6 years old.
Through active, hands-on learning in the classroom and outdoors, the children are able to integrate many ways of knowing the world. We offer a rich balance of academics, art, music, drama, handwork and movement – a curriculum that is lively and current. Children truly enjoy this process of inquiry and they come away with a sense of accomplishment, which sets them on a path of lifelong learning.
Our program includes:
- Loving and caring atmosphere
- Healthy lunches and snacks provided
- Small class individual attention
- Large outdoor space with garden & animals
- Walking distance to the river
- Fostering inner motivation
- Tailored curriculum to individuals’ style & pace of learning
