We have Friday 10-4PM day programs come next school year of 2024-25. They come as a fall unit (10), Christmas unit (3), winter unit (8) and a spring before Easter unit (6) and Violets in Spring Unit (6). You do not have to commit to more than one unit at a time.
The age range will be approximately 6-12+

Each day will entail doing animal chores, milking the cow, gathering eggs, feeding the sheep and more or helping the cook in the kitchen prepare lunch or doing gardening. After eating what the kids prepare with Julie Gerard the day continues with a Waldorf “main lesson”, i.e. poems we learn by heart/music: singing and recorder/story and art work with Bente and others. Free play time ends the day. Often the kids like to play after the dessert at the end of the day and you do not have to pick them up until 5PM.
We need a minimum of four mixed age participants in order to run the program with a maximum of twelve.
As you see, the fee is $100 pr. day pr, kid(including two organic meals and also supplies). You have to commit to an entire session of however many it is and pay upfront the full amount. This is because we work in depth on a subject and on skills. You’ll receive 10% discount if paid in full a month ahead of starting date. Lunch is prepared here by the children with the master cook, Julie. We try to do everything organic here, if possible. Food allergies/sensitivities are heeded, of course.
New families can come and observe and participate and stay the day one time for free so they can make up their mind if this is for their children or not.
The tentative homeschool year ahead is looking like this:
Fall 2024, starts Sept. 20th-Nov 22. That is 10 sessions.
Winter ONE sessions 2025: Jan.17-Feb. 21, 6 Fridays
Winter TWO sessions: March 7- Apr. 11, 6 Fridays
Spring sessions: Apr. 25-May 30, 6 Fridays.
Remember the 10% discount if you pay a month or more before the date(s) you choose.
All the 6 week Friday blocks would cost $600, if paid upon start of program or paid no later than a full month before start of block, it would be $540. In this case deadlines for early bird fee is Dec. 17th, Feb. 7th and March 25.
