Parent-toddler programme

The Thraya Parent-Toddler Programme is a gentle beginning for parents and young children to experience Waldorf education. Through the daily rhythm of meaningful activities, children learn by doing and experiencing in play, imitation and movement. Alongside this, parents are also sure to find deeper insights from our webinars.

Seasonal rhythm

Each block is closely connected to nature and is structured to give children an experience of traditions and tales through songs, stories, art and work that reflect the mood, colours, food and every other aspect of the season.

Weekly rhythm

Children find comfort in coming back to the work they do each week as it gives them the familiarity of a known task. It also helps to build perseverance and encourages them to do work willfully.
