Our Approach
KinderHorse offers a holistic, play-based program where children connect with horses, explore nature, and develop social emotional learning through repetition, creativity, and a nurturing environment, all guided by our core values inspired by the Waldorf philosophy.
We’ve carefully crafted a play-based curriculum that draws inspiration from the Waldorf philosophy’s three Rs: rhythm, ritual, and repetition.

Through immersive hands-on activities with the horses, oral storytelling, and engaging circle time, children develop a unique language – both verbal and nonverbal – that cultivates mindfulness, memory, and an extended attention span.
Gratitude and Positive Psychology concepts are seamlessly integrated into our work with the horses, enriching kids’ learning experience. Creative and imaginative activities, along with storytelling and role-playing with our gentle equine companions, are an integral part of our program.
Our core values, inspired by the Waldorf philosophy, shape our educational approach:
Educating the Whole Human Being:
We strive to nurture every aspect of a child's development, from physical to emotional and intellectual growth.
Creative and Flexible Thinking:
KinderHorse promotes a mindset of creativity and adaptability, encouraging children to think outside the box.
Kindness and Compassion:
We instill in children the importance of kindness and compassion, not only toward horses but toward all living beings.
Humor and Play:
Laughter and playfulness are key ingredients in our program, making learning a joyful experience.
Wonder and Innocence:
We celebrate the innate wonder and innocence of childhood, fostering a sense of awe and curiosity in all that we do.
