Kindergarten

There are so many things to love about a Waldorf Kindergarten. Many parents are drawn to Waldorf schools because of the attractive aesthetics of the classrooms and the prevalence of wooden, natural toys as part of the curriculum. Families who choose Waldorf education for their children point to the emphasis on play, the focus on creativity, and the wholistic approach to academics in the early grades as three of the most valuable aspects of the program.
The Waldorf School of Jordan’s Early Childhood Program provides a nurturing foundation for the growing child through the Pre-School, KG1 and KG2 years. Our program fosters the development of the whole child, and we are dedicated to nourishing our students in a healthy and beauty-filled environment. Each classroom is warm, inviting and filled with beautiful natural materials. Educational puzzles, games, building blocks, modeling dough and handcrafted toys encourage children to create their own games and stories. Our Early Childhood rooms and play areas are gentle places where children can imagine freely while feeling safe and comfortable––where they can discover the goodness of the world around them and enjoy the magic of childhood.
Our warm and home-like classrooms open onto a light-filled spacious indoor play-area and beautifully landscaped outdoor playgrounds, providing the perfect settings for the full range of a healthy kindergarten day. Active indoor and outdoor play, circle-games and crafts increase the children’s physical strength and coordination. The Waldorf Early Childhood Program fosters body and mind together, and prepares students for the emotional and intellectual skills they will master in future years.
A Waldorf childhood is full of time spent listening to folk tales and modern stories, watching puppet shows and participating in dramatic play. These activities strengthen their powers of memory, comprehension and imagination. The stories, songs and nursery rhymes told in class cultivate a love for the wonderful powers of language and communication. Counting games and rhythmic activities provide the foundational experience for learning mathematics, sequencing and basic number skills. Learning about the physical world through building blocks, craftwork, gardening and imitative play prepares the child for studying the sciences. Waldorf kindergarten classes are all about laying a strong foundation––preparing the soil and planting the seeds that will grow into a lifelong love of learning in the years ahead.

After their kindergarten years children cross an important developmental milestone, moving away from a world of imagination towards a more concrete way of thinking. Having been made to feel the magic of words, numbers and the natural world in imaginative and active ways, the children enter grade school with an enthusiasm for learning that will power their mental and academic development for years to come.

"Being personally acquainted with a number of Waldorf students, I can say that they come closer to realizing their own potentials than practically anyone I know."

–Joseph Weizenabum, MIT Professor
