Early Childhood May Festival

Here we go round the Maypole high,
The Maypole high, The Maypole high,
Here we go round the Maypole high,
Let colored ribbons fly,
Let coloured ribbons fly.
Last week the Early Childhood community gathered together to celebrate May Day under the umbrella of our giant horse chestnut tree. Parents and Carers danced with their Kindergarten children while Sapling Families jingled bells together while watching on. The community of togetherness was palpable, as was the light-hearted nature of the celebration.
In Waldorf education, the May Day festival marks the turning point toward summer, celebrating vitality, beauty, and the joyful awakening of the natural world—reflected in the children’s singing, dancing, and weaving of bright ribbons around the Maypole. We are deeply grateful to everyone who joined us in making the day so special—and a heartfelt thank you to Aly and Christine for the beautiful music that brought the celebration to life.
