Child in Arms
Journey Through the Seasons
Fridays from 9:00–11:00am
For children from birth to age 3 and their caregivers.
“Homemade bread and herbal tea are shared each week as a touchstone of rhythm—a simple ritual that nourishes both parent and child. While children are held or play freely with simple, natural toys, parents join in discussion and understanding about tending the first three years of life and take up a small handwork project to bring beauty and simplicity into their home. Supporting the senses of the child, we spend time outside in nature each week and observe the shift of the seasons, bringing in wholeness in the simplicity of returning to the same place each week. Together we weave rhythm, reverence and community into the tender early years of life”.
-Miss Kate
Child in Arms welcomes families with children from birth to age three, as well as expecting parents, into a warm and supportive community during the tender early years of family life.
Rooted in Waldorf-inspired education, our gatherings honor the natural unfolding of early childhood through movement, imitation, warmth, rhythm, and gentle sensory experiences.
Together, we create space for children to explore at their own pace while caregivers connect, share experiences, and deepen their understanding of early childhood development.
Through simple rituals, meaningful conversations, and time in nature, we nurture a sense of trust, belonging, and connection for both children and their caregivers.
