Blossom House Preschool offers a Waldorf-inspired program for children between the ages of 2 1/2 and 5 1/2. As a Waldorf-based program, we strive to surround the children with toys from nature, things of beauty and positive adult role models. Our educational goal is to develop the skills that last a lifetime, such as:
- Appreciation of a daily program
- Listening and language skills through story-telling and finger plays
- Problem-solving skills and enhanced imaginative ability through creative free play
- Learning good manners during meal times
- Social skills through awareness of fellow students’ fellings, abilities and uniqueness
- An appreciation of nature through awareness of the seasons and the celebration of festivals
- A lifelong love of learning and discovery
