Morning Glories
~Henry David Thoreau~
Morning Glories Parent-Child classes are for parents or caregivers and the children they love from ages birth to 4 years. The program provides a gentle step for children in the Newtown, Bethel, Danbury, Redding and surrounding areas to transition between home and school life. The Morning Glories classroom provides a safe, nurturing environment featuring natural play materials, a consistent routine, and seasonal rhythm. While the children play, the parents work with their hands creating seasonal crafts and playthings. Parents and caregivers learn more about parenting and Waldorf education. Both adults and children have the opportunity to make new connections with other families. A healthy snack is provided.
