Potomac Crescent
Waldorf School
Parent Child Program
Our unique Parent-Child Programs offer guidance and support for parents and young children in a nurturing environment. Our classes are designed to focus on early infancy up to age three.
Each class format allows children to enjoy healthy, self-initiated movement and play while parents/caregivers engage in quiet observation and learn about creating gentle daily rhythms and child development.
Please note that enrollment includes class attendance of one adult per child, but it does not have to be the same caregiver for every class. Virtual meetings are open to multiple caregivers. Twins who are registered and attend with one adult qualify as a single enrollment. Sessions are offered in the fall, winter, and spring.
