In Redmont's Nursery Program, we provide children ages two and a half to four with a homelike environment in which to play and participate.
The Waldorf Kindergarten is an extension of the family experience, an intermediate step for the child between the home and formal schooling.
Teachers are committed to mentoring the same children from 1st – 8th grades.
