Testimonials
“It was very apparent that the kids, and their parents, thoroughly enjoyed the program. The day after the program I had one little guy, who attended the program, ask me to find him books on composting as his family were going to build a compost!”
“I liked how experiential the tour was for the children. The facilitator was skilled at maintaining the children’s attention and keeping them interested.”
“Elora was very interactive, engaging, and fun! She noticed when the children needed to move and was willing to respond to many questions, comments and student inquiries!”
