Dear Prairie Flower Community: Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Prairie Flower Children’s Center is closed from August 2020 through December 2020. This means we won’t be offering any of our regular programming (preschool, parent-child group, after school clubs). We will be re-evaluating and updating about the spring semester when we can--we miss the community so much and look forward to a time when we can all be together again. Welcome to Prairie Flower Children's Center! Prairie Flower is a preschool and kindergarten inspired by the principles of Waldorf education and forest schools for children in Ames, Iowa, and the surrounding communities. We strive to create a warm, nurturing environment based on meaningful work, play and connection to the natural world and its seasons. Above all, we seek to honor unpressured childhood as a critical time for healthy development. In addition to the preschool and kindergarten, we offer a parent-child playgroup for 1- to 3-year-olds; two outdoor nature clubs, one for 5-to 12-year-olds and another for 11-18-year-olds; and many seasonal community events, celebrations, and parent education programs. We invite you to explore our site and learn about our unique vision for early childhood education. Please feel free to contact us with any questions! |
Prairie Flower Children's Center is managed by the Ames Waldorf Education Association, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization with tax-exempt status in the United States.
As a small non-profit education center, we depend on fundraising to keep our tuition rates low. Your contribution helps make it feasible for families to experience the beauty and wonder of Prairie Flower's programming. |
