Our in-school programs presented in the classroom meet the needs of age groups from kindergarten to 8th grade. Our programs pertain to a variety of topics and can be customized to fit your needs, typically running between 30 and 60 minutes. Whenever possible, we bring a live animal guest!
As part of our mission, we provide educational visits free of charge.
