Heartsong’s Annual Programs
Learning through rhythm, relationship, and the seasons.
“We are fully human only while playing, and we play only when we are human in the truest sense of the word.”
— Rudolf Steiner
At Heartsong, our annual programs nurture the whole child through nature-based, experiential learning rooted in Waldorf principles.
From early childhood through middle grades, children grow within a rhythm of story, song, meaningful work, and community life.
Ages 3–6
Buttercups (ages 3–4) and Hawthorns (ages 5–6) come together in our gentle, nature-based early childhood program where learning unfolds through play, rhythm, storytelling, and meaningful work in both forest and classroom.

Learning Village
Grades · Middle Grades · Homeschool Hybrid
Heartsong’s Learning Village is a Waldorf-inspired program for 1st–8th grade students, offering both full-time enrollment and hybrid options for homeschool families. Children engage in hands-on, experiential learning that blends academic rigor with creativity, movement, and connection to the natural world.
Monday–Friday · 9:00am–3:00pm
4-day and 5-day options available
Students explore math, science, reading, and writing through classroom, homestead, and forest learning. Songs, mythology, handwork, and theatre bring creative expression to the academic day.
If you choose the 5-day option, each week culminates in Farm & Forest Friday, a day devoted to practical, earth-based learning through farming, building, herbalism, cooking, and seasonal study.
