Animals Are Everywhere & Some Are Hiding
"Exceptional! Well-planned & high interest activities for the first graders. The instructors were very knowledgeable about the
content and very patient with our excited students! (I prefer this experience over Arlington Echo - pacing for activities
was just right for the little ones)."
