We all want our child’s first experience with school to be great. Preschool is a chance for them to socialize and make friends, learn new skills and gain independence.
Choosing a preschool that will be the right fit for your child can seem daunting. That’s why we put together The North Shore Moms 2023 Preschool Guide. This Guide features a variety of area schools with part-time and full-time schedules. Learn more about each school and how to contact them for tours and enrollment details below.

Through a well-balanced curriculum of academics, arts, and practical experiences, the Waldorf School at Moraine Farm engages students intellectually, emotionally, and physically. Their small classes, hands-on outdoor learning, and a curriculum threaded with art, music and movement help students develop confidence in themselves as thinkers and creative doers. They help our students explore their world, ask challenging questions, and find meaningful answers. In the process, students develop a passion for learning and an instinct for independent thinking that lasts a lifetime.
Learn more at these upcoming events: Exploring Waldorf Education for BIPOC Families on 1/21/23 and Windows into Waldorf Open House on 1/22/23.
