Steiner Early Childhood Education is a key focus of Milkwood Steiner School, recognising that children under the age of seven are expert imitators. The Kindergarten environment models a holistic and healthy way of living and relating, serving as an important role model for children. The school aims to create a physical and social environment that fosters kindness and encourages replication of these values in the children.
