Birdsong

Birdsong is a Waldorf-inspired program for 3-5 year olds held in my home in Ashland. We meet from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm, Monday through Thursday mornings. The environment is my home, where we are cooking, cleaning, mending, and caring for the plants, animals, and people which make up our Birdsong family. We spend our mornings together playing, painting, drawing, singing and moving at circle time, and enjoying a story before going home. I have a large shady yard with gardens, chickens, and play equipment. The curriculum includes building kindness and emotional literacy, resilience, sensory integration, developing pre-literacy through verse, song and story, and observation and reverence for the natural world of which we are a part. Cooperation, patience, tolerance, discovery, friendship- these are the lessons of preschool.

Enrollment usually takes place in early Spring, but is ongoing if space is available. Tuition for the year is $6200. Snack and lunch are provided.

I have a B.A. in Holistic Education and am the mother of six children- four grown and two at home. I have been an early childhood educator in the valley for twenty years. It is my honor to serve children and their families.
