The toddler groups provide a space for parents and their children to experience a Steiner-based environment. We run groups in School on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. There is also a Woodland parent and child group at Killerton every Wednesday.
The sessions in school are for parents and their children aged 0-3. Each session begins with the children working bread dough which will be baked and eaten for their snack. The toys in the toddler room are simple natural objects such as baskets of shells and wood which encourage imaginative play. The emphasis in the toddler group is on creating a homely atmosphere, with special attention given to the rhythm of the session so that transitions from one activity to another occur in a calm mindful way. There is also a simple blessing sung at snack time that brings a spiritual focus for the children and parents before sharing the food together.
