You value an unhurried childhood and adolescence in which children and teens are allowed to develop emotionally, socially, and academically without undue pressure.

Parent -Baby Classes

Together we will learn how to observe and meet a baby’s needs at different developmental stages, and how to create a home life that supports healthy and joyful growth. We enroll “expecting parents” into this class as well as parents with babies up to 18 months.

Parent -Child Classes

Parents and children meet for a weekly class that gives a taste of the Waldorf Early Childhood program. Together we enjoy a morning of work and creative play, songs, outdoor time, and connection with each other. We offer a supportive environment for both child and parent during the early years of parenting.

Cricket in the Wood Outdoor Classes

Young children thrive on opportunities to connect with the wonder and freedom of the outdoors. In our outdoor class, parents and children take nature walks, collect leaves, make crafts, share a hot meal, and enjoy the company of other young families. A classroom is available for quiet time if needed.

Parent Child Program - Cricket on the Hearth

During the first years of life, children build a foundation of health that stays with them throughout their entire lives.

Kindergarten

Forest Kindergarten

The Hartsbrook School’s Forest Kindergarten offers a sanctuary for childhood, tucked into the banks of a brook at the foot of the Seven Sisters Range. Here, the natural world provides a unique environment for the education of the whole child.
