PRESS RELEASES

-April B. “My daughter and her friend loved it. We appreciated that the program was outdoors [often] and seemed well run.”
-Pilar B. “My 4yo clearly understood key concepts such as adaptation and communication, was able to articulate them, and thoroughly enjoyed learning facts about all the different animals. The hands-on factor was key for her.”
