Saturday Talk - 'Kindergarten - a foundation for learning and life' with Joy De Berker
All welcome
Joy De Berker explores how the Kindergarten years, from 3 to 7, give children a foundation for learning and life.
Find out:
what is the unique Steiner approach to learning in a child's first 7 years
how kindergarten prepares children to be motivated, empathetic, independent, creative human beings, who can apply these qualities throughout their lives and future learning environments
why formal 'education is 'delayed' compared to mainstream schools
how we can tell when a child is ‘ready’ for school
how kindergarten supports children's future academic work, equipping them to move on successfully to mainstream or steiner education
Joy is a mother of 5 grown-up children and has worked as a Kindergarten teacher and specialist lecturer for the past 18 years in South West England. She has run a Parenting Course and study group near her home near Bath for the past 9 years. She especially enjoys imparting her experience of Steiner education and its relevance today in a way that is easily understood.
The talk is part of the ‘Learning to Love Learning’ talk series for parents, teachers, advisors and anyone interested in child education. Our guest speakers are experienced Steiner Waldorf teachers and advisors, who bring a wealth of practical experience from the Steiner classroom to offer a fascinating insight into this unique education approach.
Tea/coffee at 10.00am. Talks start at 10.15 am and usually last about an hour, followed by time for questions, tea/coffee and an informal chat. There is no entry charge, though donations to cover expenses are welcomed.
