Parent-Child Program
The Chicago Waldorf School Parent-Child Program provides education and resources for parents and their young children from infancy to 3 1/2 years of age. In an inviting environment that echoes the rhythms and atmosphere of a Waldorf Early Childhood classroom, parents and children come together to explore the wonders of the first 3 years of life. The classes offer information and parents have an opportunity to discuss child development, parenting issues and Waldorf education with an experienced teacher.
During Cooking Classes, parents and children will prepare a delicious, nutritious meal which is then eaten together with the group. There is plenty of time for play as the meal is cooking. These classes are for children ages 18 months-4 years of age. Siblings who are in the Early Childhood program may join the groups for lunch for an additional $7 per class.
