Merri Steiner Playgroup

A wooden bowl filled with various knitted vegetables, including pumpkins, an orange tomato, and a green cabbage, sitting on a wooden table.

The experienced Steiner teacher Jane runs the Merri Steiner Playgroup at the Red Door Studio.

Small wooden dollhouse with furniture and stuffed dolls, placed on a wooden floor against a brick wall, with baskets of toys and stuffed animals nearby.

The playgroup is a warm and nurturing space that values the importance of play. Each session follows a gentle rhythm which provides structure for the children throughout the morning. The Steiner approach values the natural environment and provides a beautiful space full of natural materials and hand-made toys that promote meaningful and open-ended play.

The beautiful Steiner playgroup has been running for over 20 years. An experienced and dedicated Steiner teacher guides each playgroup session and develops unique programs each term to celebrate the seasons and festivals.

Morning playgroup sessions follow a rhythm of outside play, seasonal songs and verses, morning tea (family provided), inside play with our beautiful collection of play things and to end, storytelling.
