About Village Tot School
"Our highest endeavor must be to develop free human beings who are able of themselves to impart purpose and direction to their lives. The need for imagination, a sense of truth, and a feeling of responsibility—these three forces are the very nerve of education"
-Rudolf Steiner (founder of Waldorf education)
Ms. Beth
Ms. Beth's teaching journey has gone through many changes over the years. She has experienced Montessori, Play-Based, and Waldorf style schools. Now, both of her children attend a Waldorf school and she has been inspired by their growth there.
Waldorf Inspiration
Ms. Beth has embraced the Waldorf method as she see's it as a beautiful representation of the whole child. In a Waldorf inspired preschool you will see a daily rhythm, songs, verse, stories, lots of play, and no screens.
​
Repetition and predictability are important parts of the daily rhythm. It helps the student feel secure in knowing what comes next, building confidence and the ability to be comfortable in the space.
​
Songs, verse, and stories are how we learn about the world around us, important themes for growing, and even some letters and numbers.
​
Play is how the young child learns social-emotional skills, uses their imagination, and enhances early fine and gross motor skills.
​
Come join us in this journey of Childhood, and let us be a part of your village.
"The heart of the Waldorf method is the conviction that education is an art – it must speak to the child’s experience. To educate the whole child, their heart and will must be reached as well as their mind."
-Rudolf Steiner
