Buckalope Elementary is a creative collaboration between Exclusive Education and Furry Friends Productions. Our Mission is to provide an interactive and engaging enrichment program that promotes social, emotional and academic development in children ages 5 to 9.
"Career Day" is the first episode of the puppet series. It focuses on character building with an emphasis on career possibilities. Each episode will present a new character trait and story to motivate, coach and guide students, creating the base to move forward into the next stage of their educational journey.
On this site, you'll learn all about the production and its development, get all of the latest episodes and songs, and join our community as we share our vision of creating an interactive, engaging and informative environment for children at the beginning of their educational experience. Interest in and a positive relationship with learning is experienced through age appropriate stories with relatable and fun characters and songs.
