Marianne Böckli, Ashwood Waldorf School's Forest Kindergarten teacher, will lead Ashwood's Parent-Child classes this fall. Classes will be offered on six Tuesday mornings from 9:00 - 11:00 a.m., beginning October 28.

Parent-child classes are a gentle and nurturing program for children ages 18 months to three years and their accompanying caregiver.

While children engage in creative play with simple, natural toys, adults may work on a craft project provided by the teacher, help with snack preparation, or discuss parenting or child development. A walk through the woods on one of our trails, time on the playground to climb and swing, and a goodbye song together complete the morning.

Ashwood's Parent-Child program nurtures the whole family (moms, dads, babies, toddlers, and grandparents are all welcome) and provides a bridge from home to school. When ready, young children may transition to Ashwood's mixed-age Early Childhood classroom.

Cost for the six sessions is $150, and you must register by October 21.
