The child’s surrounding environment 

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

The teacher’s role in the early years of the child’s life is to create a surrounding environment that is calm and supportive for his physical, mental, and spiritual development.

Waldorf learning environments in kindergartens and homes range from two environments:

* The First (Indoor environment):

It is important for the child’s calm, comfort, and sense of safety and reassurance, this environment – whether it is in-home – or in the kindergarten hall – is filled with warmth and simplicity, where the color of the wall is warm and the furniture is simple wooden, and the curtains are pink to give an atmosphere of warmth in the place, and in some Waldorf kindergartens the room is without sharp corners so the interior design of the room is semi-circular, thus, the child feels that it’s like a hug.

* The Second (Outdoor environment):

For example,  a kindergarten or home garden if any, or the child may regularly go out to gardens and open spaces. This environment has natural elements such as trees, sand, mud, various plants, and some wooden toys that are away from all that is artificial, such as outdoor plastic toys.

In the alternation of the two environments (indoor and outdoor), the child spends the most enjoyable free time, but within limits that make him feel safe.

It is very easy to provide this environment for the child, for example by making the house warm like our old grandmother’s house with the provision of natural cotton and wooden toys, and to regularly take children out to gardens or even walk down the street.

Between this and that the child spends the happiest times, and so do you! 🙂
