Early Childhood

Playgroup

Parents and children learning together

Young children mostly learn by imitation, imagination, experimentation and movement. It is the child’s nature to experience, to explore and to learn about the world through their senses.  Playgroup is on Thursdays and Fridays 9:15am-11:15am or 11:30am-1:30pm.  For more information contact Patricia on 0402 176 064.

Early Kindergarten

A beautiful beginning

The Central Coast Steiner Early Kindergarten offers a three-day program which introduces the child to a calm, unhurried approach to learning. Our beautiful environment nurtures each individual. Children this age learn primarily through imitation, so they do everyday tasks together, such as baking bread and gardening. Creative activities, including painting, craft, puppetry and storytelling foster the child’s imagination. A deep love of Mother Nature is awakened as children observe and celebrate the changing seasons.
