About
PUDDLESTOMPERS Afterschool Drop-Off Programs are a great way to get your kiddos out and exploring after a day at their desks! Each day, we will explore a different seasonally relevant topic (ex: Grasshoppers, Fall Leaves, Winter Birds, Signs of Spring, & more!) through hands-on exploration, active movement, outdoor play, STEM-based experiments, games, crafts, and stories. Offered in various towns throughout the Greater Boston area, our Afterschool Drop-Off Programs are designed to span all seasons and highlight what changes are happening in nature as the weather shifts. Whether it’s August sun, April showers, or January blizzards, we can’t wait to get outside and explore with you!
PLEASE NOTE: All children must be potty-trained in order to attend any PUDDLESTOMPERS Drop-Off Program.
