A Different Approach to Phonics

This class is Waldorf-inspired, which means we move slowly, intentionally, and in a way that honors how young children naturally learn.

It’s not about pushing early reading. It’s about creating a foundation where reading feels natural, enjoyable, and something they want to keep coming back to.

Rooted in Story and Song

Every letter has its own story and song that will captivate your child's imagination.

Steady Weekly Rhythm

Children meet each week in a calm, welcoming environment where learning unfolds through story, play, and hands-on experience.

Community and Nature

Beyond the class, families are invited into seasonal festivals, group outings, and a rhythm that extends into the home with our phonics curriculum.
