Reeths-Puffer Pennsylvania Kindergarten

Immersion in nature, and learning to respect and treasure all that nature provides us is a main goal for our kindergartners at Reeths-Puffer Pennsylvania Elementary School.

On any given day, you will find students conducting scientific research outdoors, looking for ants, digging in dirt to find different layers, exploring a compost pile, caring for chickens and sometimes, just drawing and writing while sitting quietly in an orchard, garden or just under a tree. Students use nature to inspire their learning, to help them gain knowledge that only the Earth and nature can provide, all while learning to be environmental citizens.

The Nature Explore Certification helps our staff and students keep nature as a focus, while still learning to read, write, become scientists and mathematicians. Students explore while being aware of nature all around them and how it can help us to unlock many mysteries, all while learning in a way that is interactive, fun and helping our little ones to be conservators of the Earth.
