What an amazing experience for your child to be able to learn in this type of  environment surrounded by nature and exotic animals all incorporated into their daily curriculum.  The class size is limited with the Zoo School having had up to 18 children with 2 staff members to supervise. The staff are with in sight and sound of the children at all times.

This is such a critical age for kids and they learn and process so much information, what a great place for them to begin their first adventures of school. If you would like more information about the daily program plus all the standards and regulations click on their website.
