Puddle Jumpers Workshop

We believe that the participatory nature of cooperative childcare allows for an experience that is more nurturing, diverse, stimulating and responsive than traditional group or private childcare. Puddle Jumpers Workshop is inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach to early childhood learning; we emphasize free play, positive learning experiences, unconditional caring, and good nutrition.

Good questions to ask on a tour

1. 1How do children's interests shape the projects you do, and can you share a recent example?
2. 2What are the exact drop-off and pickup times, and is there any flexibility?
3. 3Beyond the listed tuition, what other fees should I expect (application, deposit, materials, field trips)?
4. 4What ages do you serve, and how are children grouped?
5. 5What is your potty-training policy, and how do you support children who are still learning?
6. 6How do you handle discipline, conflict between children, and big feelings?
7. 7What is your application timeline, and when do families typically hear back?
8. 8How large is each class, and what is the teacher-to-child ratio?
9. 9What does parent communication look like — updates, conferences, opportunities to be involved?
