Steiner/ Waldorf Kindergartens in South Australia
There are currently no public school streamed Waldorf kindergartens in Adelaide. While bush kindergartens and playgroups are available for families, we have been working for many years to establish a streamed kindergarten. There are a number of logistical requirements and criteria that need to be met, and we continue to explore opportunities and discussions to make this a reality.

Adelaide Hills- Ashton
Mindful Family Life - Steiner Bush Kinder
When
Thursdays
Details
These groups offer a nourishing experience for both parents and children — a place to connect, slow down, and be replenished together.
As one parent describes it: "The group for me has been like the perfect brew of Chicken Soup — nourishing for the body, soothing for the soul and a calm space for my mind."
For families seeking something a little more, a little different, or even a little less, these groups might be just what they are looking for.
Ages
3.5 up and their families
