Alabama Waldorf School offers two preschool programs:
Nursery
In our hectic, modern lifestyle, it is not always possible to stay home with young children. In AWS's Nursery Program, we provide children ages two and a half to four with a homelike environment in which to play and participate. It is no wonder, then, that activities in the nursery classrooms mirror those activities one may participate in at home: room care, food preparation, and preparing for holidays and seasonal festivities. Just as when young children are at home, the nursery students may choose to join the adults in their work, imitate work the adults are doing, or play nearby under the watchful eyes of his or her teachers. The children are wrapped in a comfortable, secure routine which gives them great confidence to explore their surroundings and immerse themselves in the all-important work of the child: play. Since young children absorb the world primarily through their senses, our biggest job in the Nursery and the Kindergarten is to provide an environment which is worthy of their absorption and imitation!

Kindergarten
The Waldorf Kindergarten is an extension of the family experience, an intermediate step for the child between the home and formal schooling. The goal of the Waldorf Kindergarten is to nurture a sense of wonder and curiosity in the young child, while encouraging reverence for the goodness of life. In the loving and creative atmosphere of the kindergarten, young children acquire the confidence and discipline they will need for the challenging academic work of the grade school
