Age 3 - 6 years   Rudolf Steiner called the first years of  a Childs life the "Years of Imitation."   At this stage, everything the children experience affects them deeply. The rhythm of the day, the behaviour of adults and their environment all have important influences on their life.   It is therefore essential that the children's surroundings are beautiful and natural.   Their day in the Kindergarten has a strong rhythmical pattern, and includes many artistic activities: Painting, modelling, drawing, singing, eurythmy, songs & games, handwork & baking.   Inside and outside the Kindergarten is designed so as to encourage and enrich children's imaginative play.   The time spent in the Kindergarten provides the firm and healthy basis for all subsequent learning throughout the school.
