Questions and Answers

​

Q: What is your child care philosophy?

A: Our program is a Lifeways-certified playgarden. The design is to create a 'home away from home' for the children to grow and receive loving care. We focus on play-based learning, gentle daily rhythms, and respectful parenting techniques applied to the daycare setting. We encourage families of all cultural and religious backgrounds to join the program, and celebrate diversity. We spend as much time outdoors as we can, playing with our pets and interacting with nature.

​

Q: Is it a religious program?

A: Nope! Although Waldorf uses holidays to mark the changing seasons of the year, our Jewish holiday festivals are presented in an inclusive and non-religious manner so as to make the program meaningful and welcoming to families of all backgrounds. We encourage families to share their own cultural background and holidays through songs, books, and foods that are appropriate for the ages we serve.
