The first phase (the willing phase) from birth to age 7, sees the formation of the child’s physical body and the development of the will are paramount. This is the stage at which children live through their hands and the Kindergarten child learns by doing. The children learn about themselves, each other, and the world around them by engaging in creative play, music, dance, art craft, and domestic crafts such as baking and cleaning. The routine and repetition help the children to develop self-discipline in a nurturing environment. Soft colors and natural materials surround the children with beauty and inspire their creativity.The second phase (the feeling phase) 7-14 years is when the heart and lungs harmonize. The rhythmic system is developing in conjunction with the feeling of life. Subjects are delivered in a creative and integrated way through the teacher's imaginative life. The children develop a sense of everything being connected to the whole. A belief in truth, beauty, and goodness, and a connection to the world is paramount. The third phase (the thinking phase) from adolescence to adulthood, sees the young person developing their intellect. The emphasis is now on developing powers of reasoning and judgment. The focus lies with developing their abstract thinking and artistic sensitivity. At the core of Steiner’s principles is the belief that true education must encompass the whole child within the context of human development. It is aimed at their spiritual, emotional, intellectual, and physical development in a harmonious and balanced way.
