Throughout the school year, we look for opportunities to bring our community together—both inside and outside the Coop.
Our external community activities include connection and outreach events that help us build strong relationships beyond our walls.

For our internal student community, we design a curriculum that invites every age group to explore the same topic or theme. This shared learning experience allows us to connect across classrooms and developmental stages in fun, meaningful, and educational ways.

Whole School Field Trips

Field trips are a Sudbury Coop tradition. We always start off the year in late September with an apple picking trip. All families are invited to attend as a way to start off the school year meeting and reconnect with other Coop families. Some children will have the opportunity to take a school bus which is very exciting! The children also have the opportunity to attend a field trip again in March and May. Our most recent field trips have been to the Danforth Art Museum and Land Sake Farm. For these field trips, the children have yet another opportunity to ride the school bus. Chaperones are always welcome to attend these additional field trips.

Community Outreach

Pre-K Local Business Trick-or-Treat
In October, our Pre-Kindergarten Classes visit local businesses at Mill Village in their costumes to Trick-or-Treat for non-food treats!

Friendship Exchange
The children at the Coop decorated cards for the residents at Bridges Memory Care Center in Sudbury. Some of the children made these cards during the school day with their friends and others took them home to do with their families. A group of children went with their families to Bridges to deliver the cards and spend time with the residents. The children got so excited when they realized that the residents had made cards for the children to bring back to their classmates. There were lots of smiles, giggles, and hugs exchanged!

Whole School Programs

We love whole school programs at the Coop! They’re a great way to explore a topic and watch it unfold across multiple age groups and classrooms. Both toddlers and Pre-K children can dive deep into a theme in ways that fit their developmental stages. Whole school programs build community across different ages and classrooms, creating bonds between children as well as teachers.

A favorite example of a whole school program at the Coop is Children’s Authors. We take the same children’s books and explore them through the lens of each developmental level. It’s a wonderful way to see early literacy skills grow. Along the way, amazing art and STEM projects are created, inspired by the stories we share.
