Parent-Child Program

The Chicago Waldorf School Parent-Child Program provides education and resources for parents and their young children from infancy to four years of age. Participants come together in an inviting environment that echoes the rhythms and atmosphere of a Waldorf Early Childhood classroom. The classes encourage young children to explore and engage in the wonders of the first years of life in group play. They offer parents a place to connect, find a supportive group, discuss child development and parenting issues, and learn about Waldorf education with an experienced classroom teacher.

The advanced class is designed for children who are old enough to begin in the Early Childhood Program the following year. Advanced Parent-Child is recommended for children 2 1/2 - 4 years of age.

Payment Options

A 10% discount and an optional payment plan are available for all families who register in the Fall for the entire year.  Families may also register for multiple classes within each session.  A non-refundable $50 deposit is required to reserve a space.

While it is unlikely to occur, the Chicago Waldorf School reserves the right to cancel a class due to insufficient registration. Enrolled families will be notified by phone prior to the class start date if this occurs. Deposits for any cancelled classes will be returned.
