Waldorf Kindergarten
Every October, we seem to get a stretch of 80- or 90-degree weather, and every year we find ourselves saying, “It’s October!” While summer still feels persistently here, we look for signs of fall at the park while still warm enough to swim in the ocean. But this year is different. This is an El Niño year, so we experienced unexpected rainfall and unpredictable surf, making the transition into fall feel a little less familiar.
Welcome to the LIVE audio version of our homeschool vlogs! Here, you’ll hear the delightful voices of the children, my gentle guidance and sometimes a little too much instruction, the quiet moments between projects, and the laughter and joy of imaginative play. These videos offer a glimpse into the natural rhythm of our Waldorf-inspired kindergarten days, with all the beautiful, unscripted moments that make our time together so special.
Enjoy a glimpse into our Waldorf-inspired homeschool kindergarten days through these short and sweet videos. In just a couple of minutes, you can experience the beauty of our daily rhythm, the joy of hands-on learning, and the wonder of childhood.

Letting Go of Perfect in Kindergarten | Day 13
The last time we worked on weaving, it was quite challenging for them. I had originally brought the project for my 11-year-old nephew, who has been doing beautifully with it, and the four-year-olds wanted to try it as well. They struggled quite a bit the first time, so I was genuinely surprised when they asked to do it again.

Who is having more fun and learning? | Day 14
We're finishing our wet-felted pumpkins that we started in a previous lesson. After popping them in the dryer, they're ready to be opened. I cut around the top third of each pumpkin, and the children removed the racquetballs we used to create their shape. Now they have their own little pumpkin treasures, just the right size for storing nuts, peg dolls, or anything else they'd like.

3 Failures in Our Kindergarten Today | Day 15
Sometimes our plans and projects fail, and sometimes they fail more than once! That’s exactly what happened during our Waldorf-inspired kindergarten with my triplet nephews, who are four years old. We had three projects that didn’t go quite as planned, but we still managed to have a wonderful day filled with gardening, imaginative play, cooking, storytelling, and a little experimentation.
