Clarkston Center Claimed 5.0 Updated Apr 2026

Open today 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM

Non profit childcare offering play-based and nature-based Waldorf curriculum. Children spend 50% or more of each day outside. Nature based Toys and materials are all natural Class sizes are intentionally small to allow for the development of a relationship between the teacher and each child. Grounds include woods, vegetable garden, snow hill, and natural playground. Children participate in the weekly activities of making bread, wet on wet water color painting, bees wax modeling, finger knitting, gardening, candle dipping etc. Circle time is intentionally created to develop fine and gross motor skills and language, diction and vocabulary. Children are not rushed through the day but move in a predicable rhythm of expansive activities and quiet reverent moments. Following the seasons of the year, teachers develop children's observational skills and appreciation for nature along with imagination development, stories and puppet plays. Program offers seasonal festivals, parent and child classes for infants to 3 years, parent toy making and handwork classes, parenting seminars, and parent library.
