Glenaeon Rudolf Steiner School ‘Welcome Home’ Playgroups are suitable for children from birth to 5 years.
Glenaeon offers a range of family-style playgroups which are joyful, nurturing and supportive of the young child’s developmental stages. The intention is to nourish the body and soul through activities and interactions that capture the imagination and allow parents and their children to enjoy a good time together.
Each Playgroup meets once a week and is led by an experienced Early Childhood Educator who guides the group through a two-hour session that includes stories and songs, circle activities and free-play both indoor and out. The activities and stories reflect the seasons of the year with baking and craft a cornerstone of the program. A shared morning tea is provided and children take home skills for crafting life from domestic arts and sciences such as toy making, kitchen and garden alchemy. Our Playgroup room is furnished with quality wooden and handmade toys while the natural bush playground is a haven for exploration and active tactile play. Playgroups are a great learning experience for children, parents and grandparents and are tailored to meet the needs of the group.
Parents benefit from the maturity, wisdom and experience of the playgroup educators who share ideas for nurturing the young child at home and overcoming some challenges of 21st century parenting. New skills are acquired while connections and friendships are made among children and adults. Playgroup Leaders Sandra Frain and Nancy Amini are professional educators with decades of experience creating dynamic and tailored educational programs for children and their families in a unique celebration of life.
