Welcome
Nestled in the heart of Somerset West, Puddleduck offers a rare blend of education and nature.
Our farm is home to ponies, ducks, goats, chickens, pigs, and a lush greenhouse—all woven into the daily lives of our learners.
🌱 Puddleduck Daycare Centre nurtures children from 0–6 years with full-day and half-day programs, healthy meals, and nature-inspired care.
📚 Puddleduck Homeschool Centre supports learners from Grade 1 to Grade 7 (and growing to Grade 12), offering a structured curriculum through CAPS via Impaq, enhanced by daily interaction with animals, gardens, and the great outdoors.
Whether you’re from Strand, Gordon’s Bay, Somerset West, or surrounding areas, we invite you to join our growing farm-school family.
“This farm-based preschool has become a second home for our child, where learning feels natural and joyful.
They explore academics through everyday experiences—like counting by checking on the chicks each morning.
The kids also learn to care for animals and understand community service, growing up seeing these tasks as meaningful, not chores.
We truly appreciate how the school nurtures both their mind and heart, helping them grow in confidence, kindness, and curiosity.”
