How can you set your child up for success?

New research shows what the Waldorf community has always known: free-play in childhood is a core indicator of success in adulthood. As part of the Waldorf tradition, River Song students are encouraged to explore, play and grow their imaginative spirits in a community utilizing mindful media use and in a preschool environment filled with loving caregivers and wholesome, natural materials.

A wooden bowl filled with nuts and pale seashells may become a pot of tea for two.
A length of silk may become a royal cape, a pirate’s vest, or fairy wings.
The wash of color across paper may become a dragon flashing across the sky.
A child’s voice becomes a siren, a lion, a leaf on the breeze, an unabashed laugh, a favorite seasonal song, a source of delight and strength to that child and others.

The results of the Waldorf method are time-proven and well-documented. Free play is the best activity for early childhood cognitive and social development, imparting abilities key to adult happiness and success. In fact, giving your child the right start during his or her early childhood experience -- by avoiding academic activities and pressures so early -- will directly shape the future of your child's later academic successes. In all the right ways.

For more information on the value of free-play and the development of executive function, read or listen to Alix Spiegel’s article, “Old Fashioned Play Builds Serious Skills.” Also, check out our Resources page for more information to help you decide if the Waldorf preschool approach is right for your child and family.
