Garden City, New York—The Waldorf School of Garden City recently announced an expanded schedule of their weekly Parent & Child Program for Fall 2023. The Waldorf School’s Parent & Child Program offers parents, guardians, and caregivers an opportunity to connect with their children aged birth to 3 years old in a homelike setting. The program will now be offered with weekday classes from 9am to 11am and 11am to 1pm, as well as a Saturday morning class.
The Parent & Child program provides a warm and welcoming atmosphere for children to engage in free play and socialization.
