Come and experience the beauty and success that is Apple Blossom School and Family Center located in the bucolic Cannondale area of Wilton. Serving children and families for over 10 years, Apple Blossom School provides a much-needed alternative to the accelerated approach to early childhood education
From birth to age six, children are allowed to grow and develop in an enriching space where learning takes place through play, activity, and imagination. Emphasizing time spent outside, children are able to reinforce their physical acuity, as well as cement a sense of wonder and joy of the world. Warmth from the teachers allows the children to engage in imaginative play and develop their gross and fine motor skills. Warmth is also the base of the social experience that is so important in an early childhood community. The use of natural materials is another form of warmth, as a child who engages with objects made from wool, wood, and cotton, learn to discern what is real, what has weight, and what is true in their lives. The classroom in a Waldorf School is inviting and beautiful to feel like and embrace around the young child. All snacks are organic and are largely prepared by the children. From cutting vegetables for Tuesday's soup or kneading warm bread dough for bread day, children delight in mastering independence at the same time as developing their senses and coordination. Painting, woodworking, handiwork, and gardening are weekly activities that nurture the creative ability of the children and promote endless opportunities for intellectual and physical development. The skills learned at this time make up the essential foundation for academic mastery in the future. Please join us for our Open House February 2nd at 9:30a.m. To schedule a tour, please call 203.493.4003, or go to www.appleblossomschool.org for more information.
