Receive the children in reverence, educate them in love, and send them forth in freedom.

Playgroup
Our youngest live in a world of wonder, play and imagination. At playgroup the children will enjoy free play, with natural open ended materials. They will experience morning circle during which we sing songs and learn versus, tell stories and enjoy learning actions and playing circle games.

How it started
As most Steiner School journeys unfold, ours too began with a coming together of families seeking a Steiner minded community. Passionate about providing Steiner education opportunities for local families, in 2022 we launched Whangārei Steiner, starting with our playgroup.
