Essential Foundations for Learning

Our Preschool & Kindergarten programs provide rich opportunities for arts, crafts, and purposeful work. Daily offerings of artistic activities like painting, finger knitting, beeswax modelling, sewing, crafting, nature crafts, and woodworking are cornerstones of our program, as are story-time and movement journeys. Our curriculum is further enriched by purposeful work such as raking, sweeping, gardening, planting, and more. All of this is rooted in a robust experience which is proven to increase, social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development.

Learning in Nature

Highland Hall students spend a significant amount of time exploring the school’s sprawling 11-acre campus. Our two acres of woods and three acres of biodynamic farm draw inspiration from Waldorf education’s tradition of forest and farm kindergartens. Additionally, the children make use of multiple outdoor play yards lined with beautiful gardens, rolling hills, and plenty of shade trees. Highland Hall students enjoy ample space for running, digging, gardening, swinging, and climbing. We also have well-designed play structures, mud kitchens, and shaded sand boxes which provide a well-balanced outdoor play environment.
