Sweet Pea Garden

Sweat Pea

How can we as adults, best prepare young children for their future lives as men and women? The Sweet Pea Garden is a wonderful place to start. Young children learn primarily through imitation of the people and activities around them. Joyful experiences with parents and caregivers build a healthy sense of self, and provide a strong foundation for future social relationships.

This course for parents and their young children provides parents with practical tools for raising a family. The setting, a classroom on the Shepherd Valley Waldorf School campus, is warm, simple and home-like. The rhythmic flow and creativity of the morning activities enhance the young child’s mental, physical and emotional development. Over the course of the program, parents take part in simple crafts and work projects, as well as circle games and food preparation. The children see the adults engaged in meaningful activities, while parents have an opportunity to observe the children at play. A peaceful mood in the room allows children to relax and explore their environment, touching in with mom or dad as the need arises.
