At Acorn Hill Waldorf Kindergarten & Nursery, we strive to encourage and protect the sense of wonder and gratitude nourishing the child`s imagination, and to provide a warmth-filled place to work, play and create.
We believe that play is the serious work of childhood, and that learning by doing provides the foundation for critical thinking, problem solving and a lifelong enthusiasm for knowledge.
Developed by Rudolf Steiner in 1919, Waldorf Education is based on a developmental approach that addresses the needs of the growing child.
Waldorf teachers strive to transform education into an art that educates the whole child-the heart and the hands, as well as the head.
Our programming is primarily outdoors every day in all seasons.
Acorn Hill brings about recognition and understanding of all
the world`s cultures and religions. We are based on a belief that
there is a spiritual dimension to the human being and to all of
life. Waldorf families come from a broad spectrum of religious
traditions and interests.Education tends to focuses on the
intellectual aspect of the human being and may ignore several other
parts that are essential to our well-being. These include our life
of feeling (emotions, aesthetics, and social sensitivity), our
willpower (the ability to get things done), and our moral nature
(being clear about right and wrong).We believe that media and
screen time hamper the development of the child`s imagination,
therefore no electronic media of any kind is used in our
curriculum. Instead, our pre-academic programs nurture imitative
and imaginative play, social and physical activity, and an
appreciation for beauty and nature. The programs endow children
with a strong sense of self and a platform for success in later
academic pursuits by building sound logical reasoning, mental
capabilities and a reverence for life. We let children be
children!
