The
Mallow
Garden

A weekly playgroup for Parents & Toddlers in Amsterdam

At the Garden, we are inspired by the holistic approach of the Waldorf education, nurturing your child's intellectual, physical, emotional, and spiritual development. We blossom alongside the seasons, following the primary school holidays. Wooden toys, crafting, and baking spark playtime joy for littles, while parents connect and build community.

“Going to The Garden became part of my bonding experience with my little one. It was Bibi who helped him take his first steps! Her presence, care, and affection are what make The Garden a community for us.”

Play. Nature.
Storytelling.

The Waldorf approach to young children prioritizes holistic, creative learning with a focus on play, nature and storytelling.

The beauty of nature is that two seeds of the same plant can sprout in completely different ways. Their own ways. And that’s the philosophy we value and foster at the Garden. The whole playground, our agenda and activities are created with the imagination and individuality of the kids in mind. Between the open-play, bread baking, and arts making, there’s always time for yummy organic fruits for the happy tummies. And what would be the best way to finish the day if not singing along and dancing to our songs?

Following the rhythm
of the seasons.

To help the little ones appreciate and see the beauty in nature’s cycles our activities are aligned with the seasons. Through crafting with autumn leaves, singing songs of spring's arrival, and countless other seasonal explorations, we spark a love for learning, nature and play.

Pikler Baby Sessions

While our Weekly Playgroups are designed for parents and toddlers 18 months to 4 years, we also offer specialized Pikler sessions for infants (3 months to walking). These sessions provide a nurturing environment where parents and their little ones can explore the joys of movement, self-discovery, and attentive care
