I think the first thing that striking about the Waldorf kindergarten curriculum from Live-Education is the absence of any ‘academic’ work. There are no workbooks, textbooks or even read aloud books. Instead the curriculum is filled with stories to tell, songs to sing, music to listen to, crafts to do, and toys to play with. The natural rhythm of the day is enhanced with imaginative stories and pretend play with child-sized brooms, ironing boards, wooden trucks and simple dolls. Meals are events celebrated with an opening verse. They are varied with flavored, wholesome and thoroughly enjoyed. The toys are simple and all natural.
All supplies are from A Child’s Dream.

Hi Hana, how r u doing? your kindergarten curriculum looks amazing. i want to see how u teach your daughter using all those wonderful things you have. I’m very new to the Waldorf teaching.
thanks
Salam Zeyenab! I will be having videos and blog posts about all the projects we do for kindergarten. It’s not so much teaching, though, as there are no academics in kindergarten, it’s more of daily activities that change with the seasons. I have created a video playlist for Waldorf KG and in that, you can see the things we are doing that would be appropriate for the KG level.

Wa’Alaykum Asalam, if you are very much into the Waldorf philosophy, then buying the kindergarten curriculum from now will give you enough time to familiarize yourself with it and implement what you can. I find the KG curriculum hard to use as is because there’s so much in it that isn’t conducive for Muslims families. If you still want it so you can modify it to your needs, then go ahead and get started on it. You would still be waiting until 6-7 years old to start grade 1 though. So your KG experience will last 2-3 years.
