Classes at Lilac Children's Garden

Our Waldorf-inspired, multi-age classes are offered to children ages 5-14.

In all classes at Lilac Children's Garden, the children paint with watercolor, draw with crayon and pencil, sing, and learn to play recorder. Poetry is listened to and recited. The older children practice geometric drawing as an integration of their artistic soul and emerging intellect.

The children engage in regular movement activities, from old-fashioned playground games to large-group dances.

Sculpture and other crafts are made with clay and other materials. Longer-term knitting and other handwork projects are done through the year.

In the spring, each class performs a play for the community inspired by their year's curriculum.
