Toddler Reading

The Rainbow Parent and Toddler Group is a Steiner playgroup based on the philosophy of Rudolf Steiner. You will see this philosophy reflected in many ways - the environment created is visually gentle and harmonious, soft pastel shade fabrics are used and toys are made from natural materials and are very simple.

The sessions always follow the same rhythm, and all elements contribute to an environment of warmth and stability where children are free to unfold and develop their imaginations and a sense of wonder and interest in the world.

Compared to much contemporary thinking the Steiner philosophy moves children more slowly towards the intellectual world of the adult. The gentle environment and home-like routines protect the children's sense, allowing them to develop at their own pace. The simple toys make more demands on the children's imagination than the more formed alternatives and make play much more active, exercising and developing the imagination.
