Children’s Garden integrates the principles of Steiner education with the diverse cultures and traditions of our community. Children are given the freedom to play, discover, and develop naturally without stress or pressure.
Steiner education is based on the belief that when children can relate what they learn from their own experience they become interested and ‘own’ knowledge rather than being passive receptors of information. We encourage children to become active participators in the quest for knowledge.
Our Curriculum
Rhythm, repetition, and ritual are used as a foundation for healthy imitation and learning. The curriculum is designed to provide children with experiential learning and balanced development.
Children sing, dance, paint, play, listen to stories and watch puppet plays in a gentle introduction to school and to the wider world. Songs and poems give them understanding and enjoyment of language, while creative playtime provides an opportunity to learn about playing together, co-operation and sharing.
Music, handwork, sewing, woodwork, and beeswax modelling are all used to stimulate creativity and encourage thinking. The children enjoy baking and cooking nature walks and outdoor play. Allowing children to become fully engaged in such activities builds powers of concentration and an interest in learning.
