Seedlings...
caring for children the Waldorf way
Freedom to Learn
Through Creative Play
Seedlings Parent & Child Group Bluebell Allotment, The Avenues, Norwich, NR4 7DP. For more information Click Here Seedlings groups are run by Katie Harley, a qualified Steiner Waldorf teacher with many years experience of working within early years.
Seedlings fosters a warm and caring home from home atmosphere, where children of mixed ages are encouraged to play in a creative and imaginative way with simple toys made from natural materials. The Steiner Waldorf philosophy of education believes that young children, when provided with a rich and nourishing environment, will develop healthily at their own pace, without the need for formal teaching or testing. Each child is valued for their uniqueness, supported on their individual journey through life, and encouraged to reach their full potential in a nurturing and unhurried way. "Both my children have been very happy at Seedlings - I feel very fortunate that my children have had this rare opportunity to grow and thrive in such a nurturing environment led by Katie who is totally dedicated to providing the best possible experience for the children." |
