Screens may be everywhere, but they don’t have to define childhood.
Join us for a special Screen-Free Saturday Open House, a welcoming event for families with young children to experience the warmth, rhythm, and intention of our early childhood program. Held at the close of Screen-Free Week, this gathering offers a chance to step into a calm, screen-free environment where imagination, movement, and connection take center stage.
As broader conversations, sparked in part by initiatives like Close Screens Open Minds, highlight the effects of screens on childhood, many families are rethinking what learning can look like. Our approach has always centered on the developing child, and we invite you to experience that firsthand.
Screen-Free Saturday: Early Childhood Open House

What to Expect:
- A peaceful, screen-free classroom environment

- Conversation with teachers about child development and our educational approach
- Insight into how a screen-free environment supports focus, creativity, and healthy growth
While your child engages in activities, you’ll have the opportunity to learn more about how we nurture curiosity, independence, and a strong foundation for lifelong learning.
This isn’t about taking something away; it’s about offering something deeper.
This event also coincides with Doors Open, offering a unique opportunity to explore not only our classrooms, but the story of our school, our historic school building, and the foundations of Waldorf education.

Families with children in early childhood (toddler, preschool, and kindergarten age), as well as expectant parents exploring future options.
Come experience what it looks like to put the child first.
