From the Cobnuts Steiner Kindergarten
An early childhood setting based on the Steiner Waldorf curriculum is Cobnuts Steiner Kindergarten. is regarded as the important job of childhood here. We appreciate everyone who came out to celebrate Martinmas with us. It was delightful to be back in the Blackthorn garden where we could all enjoy the mellow glow of our individual lanterns. Our approach at Cobnuts Kindergarten is based on the Waldorf Steiner theory of early childhood development. We want to provide kids with a nurturing environment where they can learn and develop. Carefully cultivated social and emotional abilities are promoted. Outdoor, creative, and imaginative play fosters respect for others, a love of learning, movement, and the environment. The environment acknowledges childhood as a time of wonder and gives kids time to educate themselves through play.
