The Playgarden began as a neighborhood playgroup created by parents who wished to offer a home setting inspired by Waldorf principles. We offer 2-, 3- and 5-Day programs for children ages 2 1/2 (and potty trained) to 6 including Kindergarten. As a LifeWays Representative Site, our trained teachers offer play & nature-based curriculum in a small group setting, providing a nature-rich and wonder-filled learning environment. Join us on campus or in the forest for 100% nature immersion where children get to be children for a little longer. 

Join us in the first Forest Kindergarten in the Southeast US
