Wildflowers Preschool supports children age 3 to 7 to enjoy learning in a beautiful loving environment. Our first concern is the happiness of the child and how we can support their flowering as they grow and change. We believe that a combination of the Waldorf and Montessori approaches meet children's needs.
With the Waldorf approach we bring storytelling, gentle art activities, imaginative play, handwork,
and a focus on daily and weekly rhythms.
Waldorf
Montesorri
With the Montessori approach, we use beautiful wooden materials to support children’s
acquisition of maths, literacy, culture, science, practical life and sensorial skills.
Our daily schedule
Our preschool currently offers the Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. The daily structures are similar throughout the week; activities, music, verses and stories change with the curriculum, seasons and inspiration of the teacher and child.

For 3-7 year olds parents can stay while the child settles in, however the aim is for the child to be at ease and independent.
Do I need to provide lunch
