A tea party wish was granted for our Rose kindergarteners! 🪄🫖💕 Thank you to all of the parents who helped make it magical💫
We still have openings in our Second Grade class for the 26/27 school year at PWS!✨
At this age, children are full of imagination, growing independence, and a deep curiosity about the world around them. Through fables, stories of Helpers of Humanity, cursive writing, handwork, movement, Eurythmy, Spanish, and Mandarin, our curriculum meets second graders in this unique stage of development.
