Socialization in the Montessori classroom


Some of the most popular questions we get from parents at Puddletown is “Is my child getting along with other children?” or “Is my child making friends?”

Are you curious about how socialization in a Montessori classroom leads to a foundation for a healthy social life?

Please join us for our fall parent night to learn more about social interactions. Guest speaker Sue Pritzer will talk to the Puddletown community about social cohesion. Q & A after if time allows.

When: Tuesday, October 9 from 6-7 pm

Where: In the sanctuary of Holy Trinity (above Puddletown)

Childcare is available to a limited number of current and past Puddletown students. Let us know if you’re interested.

Please RVSP to info@puddletownschool.com so we know how many people to expect.

6th annual fish walk

For the past 6 years, the 3rd year children have taken a walk to the local pet store to pick up supplies for each classroom’s fish tank. This year we visited Animal Crossing NW on 46th & Woodstock.

*pretzels, vegetables & chips on a neighbor’s lawn

*spray bottles to cool down
