Country Day Little School is a Waldorf-inspired, nature-based preschool that serves children from two years old through Transitional Kindergarten in a mixed-age setting. The preschool curriculum draws from Waldorf traditions and is rooted in human development, and it centers the child’s natural process of maturation while guiding each child’s physical, emotional, and cognitive growth. The program uses a whole-child, developmentally based approach to early childhood education and creates a warm and engaging environment where learning is integrated and accessible in every aspect of the day. It nurtures emerging skills through play, movement, practical work, and the arts and is designed to help students develop flexible competencies to navigate a rapidly changing world. Country Day Little School has been serving families since 1984 and offers a mixed-age preschool program starting at age two and extending through age six with Transitional Kindergarten. It is a private preschool for children ages 2 to 6, and most students start in August, with rolling admissions as space allows and school tours typically held in the winter and throughout the year as openings arise. Children are part of a close-knit learning community where community is at the heart of all they do, and together, parents, teachers, and children create a warm, supportive space where connection, growth, and joyful learning naturally unfold.
The mission of Country Day Little School states that, with love and devotion, the school strives to nourish the unique capacities of every student so that in each may awaken the creative intelligence to envision the future, the compassion to understand one another, and the courage to be an active participant in the common human experience.
Parent testimonials describe the teachers at Country Day Little School as loving, caring, and supportive, and as experienced professionals who understand and care about young children, as shared by Isabella. Another parent, Carolin Day, describes Country Day Little School as a real gem and expresses gratitude that her daughter can spend her preschool years at the school and experience the magic that comes along with it.
