Parent and Child Class

Quail’s Nest – Infants to age 2 1/2

A note from the Parent and Child Class Director

Preschool/Nursery Teacher Kim Lewis in Sun Garden classroom Welcome to the world of songs and play, of friends and food – a world of beauty where parents are relaxed and supported, where questions are answered, ideas are shared and children are free to move, explore and engage. I look forward to meeting you to tell you all about our parent-child classes, or you can find more information below.

Warmly,

Kim Lewis, Parent-Child Class Director


Parent and Child Classes at Tucson Waldorf School provide an opportunity to support your child’s development and make lasting connections with other families in a weekly two-hour class facilitated by a teacher. Quail’s Nest gives you and your little one a peaceful, home-like environment carefully arranged for creative play.  Quail’s Nest is also the perfect preparation for the very young child for Waldorf education and the transition to Nursery and Kindergarten.

  • Engage in seasonal crafts, stories, circle time, singing and rhymes, and play (indoor and outdoor).
  • Learn new songs and games with your child that support speech and language development.
  • Discover new tips for parenting and care-giving.
  • Deepen your knowledge of early childhood development with valuable parenting articles and handouts.
