Nimble fingers make nimble minds. The small child grasps the world through its fingers and in doing so, discovers the world.

Between the ages 3 to 6, children are governed by will and learn by doing.

The Tridha Kindergarten provides a secure and intimate atmosphere where "Teacher" is like a mother to the children. Their days are filled with artistic and practical work, imaginative play and outdoor play, singing and circle games, puppetry and fairy tales. The rhythmic repetition of these activities strengthens and nourishes the children. The beauty, logic and purpose of what they see and do imbue them with order and harmony. Seasonal and festive celebrations bring the wonder of nature and the spiritual to them.

Children love nature. The trees, animals, streams, butterflies and so on. Steiner teachers strive to deepen this in such a way that it becomes a foundation for both the scientific and the practical approach to nature, just as we treat a friend with care, especially if we are crucially dependent on that friend for our well-being.

When we put children under pressure to grow up too quickly, we rob them of the chance to develop qualities that are essential and unique to their age. The fast paced society we know today has little awareness of or respect for the needs of children. Education is therefore called upon to create spaces where children can truly experience their childhood. By doing so, the qualities which contribute to creative independence in adulthood are nurtured and enhanced.
