Our Half Day Preschool or Half Day Kindergarten is an intentional early education program designed for children who are ready for a consistent classroom community, meaningful relationships, and hands-on learning.

Children aren't rushed through a shortened version of a full-day or combined with the full-day classes. Their time at school is intentionally designed around them and the experiences that matter most during these preschool years such as connection, independence, language, movement, and social emotional development.

Children at this age are naturally driven to understand how things work, why things happen, and where they fit into the world around them. Our Preschool program blends Montessori independence and hands-on learning with Waldorf rhythm, imagination, creativity, and connection to nature.

Engaging in practical life, early literacy & mathematics, science & nature, art, music, sensory experiences, movement, gardening, and meaningful projects that allow academic concepts to develop are experienced rather than worksheets and memorization alone.

Just as importantly, children are learning how to be part of a community. Teachers guide them through friendships, conflict resolution, emotional awareness, patience, empathy, and repairing relationships when things don't go as planned.

Kindergarten readiness isn't just knowing letters, numbers, colors, and shapes. It's being able to communicate a need, follow a classroom rhythm, work through frustration with support, care for their belongings, and making mistakes while trying again.
