The Housatonic Valley Waldorf School understands the needs of working parents and a busy family life. To help support more parents’ ability to give their child an “unhurried” childhood and the gift of a Waldorf education, the school is now offering early and late care programs. The programs are for students enrolled in the Housatonic Valley Waldorf School.

Early care will be offered from 7 to 8:15am. Parents can avoid the morning rush to work and school. A healthy breakfast will be served. The fee is $10 a day for drop-ins and $8 a day for a contracted rate. Mid-day services are held from 12:15 to 3pm. Continue your child’s day in their home away from home; a relaxed atmosphere prevails with plenty of play time both indoors and outside, story time and rest. Parents are asked to pack a nutritious lunch. The fee is $25 a day for drop-ins and $20 a day at a contracted rate.

Late care is also available from 3 to 6pm. A gentle rhythm guides the afternoon with more time outside and time set aside for older children to complete homework. Healthy snacks will be served. Late care costs $30 a day at the drop-in rate and $25 a day for the contracted rate.
