First let me prefice this by saying that my kids and I (yes, I am including myself) do really well in a Waldorf setting. I think we all get easily "overstimulated" at play dates and other types of "drop in" places. We really enjoyed the Bluebird House, but this place is A MILE AND A HALF from the house. Yep, can get in and out and home for lunch and naps no problem.
Nature's Playhouse was so calm and relaxing... and quiet. I LOVED the quiet. It reminded me of a yoga studio. The lights were slightly dimmed, the colors muted and soothing. And let me tell you, the toys and props were AMAZING. It's like they bought one of everything in big name wooden toy catalog. I'm not always great at knowing what to do with my kids in a new environment and Paul (one of the owners and former Steiner kindergarten teacher) did a great job of engaging R in a very subtle way. Both kids had a blast and PASSED OUT right after lunch.
They have both classes and drop-in play. So (*hint*hint* Nonna) a gift certificate would be a fabulous Christmas Present.

We absolutely LOVED Nature's Playhouse too. Never heard of the Bluebird House. Is it still open? Where is it?
Bluebird house is in Southfield. It's a "Waldorf-inspired" home based preschool. They also have parent-tot classes.

We really enjoyed Ms Karen and her assistant Ms Lynette. But Nature's Playhouse is probably our new "hang out". :)
