An Experience of Support, Creativity, and Play

Led by an experienced teacher, Windsong’s Parent-Child program is for families with young children under 3-years-old who are looking for community and connection in their parenting journey. Meeting one morning each week, children and their caregivers come together to experience the magic and wonder of early childhood. The teacher leads the class through a comforting daily rhythm of explorative play and creative work. Songs, fingerplays, movement games, and puppet stories support language and motor development. Natural playthings nourish the child’s senses and budding imagination. Freeplay, both indoors and outdoors, support children’s physical and social development. Caregivers are offered opportunities to cultivate their own creativity through handwork, to meaningfully observe their children at play, to read and journal, and to enjoy one another’s company.

All children in the immediate family under the age of 3 are welcome in the same class at no additional charge.

Our Parent-Child classes are designed to support the parent and child from birth through entry into our Mixed-Age Kindergarten program. Children who have turned 3 prior to the first day of class are served by our Mixed-Age Kindergarten program.

Please see the Admissions page for class space and the link to enroll.

WHY WINDSONG SCHOOL?

Full WECAN Member school
https://windsongschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/wecanLogo.png

In June of 2018, our Early Childhood Program was granted Full Membership into the Waldorf Early Childhood Association of North America, the accrediting body for Waldorf early childhood programs. This is a great honor and the culmination of years of hard work by our entire Early Childhood faculty and staff.

Time in Nature

Located less than 10 minutes from downtown Spokane, we are fortunate to be situated on the gorgeous and historic, Mukogawa U.S. Campus. Our classes have access to acres of meadow and wooded area, Riverside State Park, and the beautiful Spokane river. All of our classes spend at least an hour in nature every day. For our grades students, Fridays are spent hiking down to the river after their main morning lessons.

Raising World Citizens

Our location on the Mukogawa U.S. Campus affords our students many opportunities to learn about and experience Japanese culture. Our grades students take both Spanish and Japanese classes from native speakers twice per week. The goal of these classes isn’t merely learning a foreign language, but gaining a deep, genuine knowledge and understanding of other cultures.

All Things at the Right Time

Waldorf education is based on observations of child development, much of which is backed up with modern scientific research. Every class at Windsong is designed with child development at the forefront. Meeting the children where they are at is nurturing to their whole being. It allows them to flourish and truly live into the curriculum.

Arts Infused Curriculum

At Windsong, art is not taught as a separate subject, but rather as a means through which to understand and see the world. All the subjects in our grades classes are brought through chalk drawing, painting, modeling, dramatic performances, songs, etc. In our early childhood classes the children also engage in an artistic pursuit each day.
