OUR PROGRAMS

Puddletown’s programs can each function independently but choose to regularly collaborate and support one another.

• Outdoor Education is woven into all programs

• Preschool/kindergarten aged children will visit the elementary and middle school classrooms to borrow materials, offer tea or coffee to staff, or get to meet another classroom’s pet. They have access to the Outdoor Classroom during their morning activity period and some afternoons as well. Click to learn more about our preschool/kindergarten program.

• Elementary aged children will visit the preschool/kindergarten classrooms to host small gatherings or support a follow-up with a special work choice, and visit middle school to assist with larger projects. They have regular nature walks as well an ongoing connection to Errol Heights Park and the Johnson Creek Watershed Project. Camping trips and Outdoor School are a part of the Elementary experience.

• Middle school aged children visit preschool/kindergarten classrooms to offer acts of service, and often join outdoor time with elementary aged children - sometimes designing Physical Education activities for Elementary. Camping trips and Outdoor School are a part of the Middle School experience - these older students are becoming leaders in the Elementary’s experience during these times.

• Early Care, After Care and children attending camps and enrichment classes may offer to help set up or tidy their home classroom environment, or choose to work on a collaborative art project for school display. Outdoor experiences are regularly part of both After Care and Camps. After School Enrichment classes sometimes bridge age groups, such as a chess club for 4-6 year olds in Preschool/Kindergarten and Elementary.
