We have over 20 school programs to choose from to entertain, educate, and enlighten your students. All of our school programs are guided by the NYS Learning Standards and are available for purchase through BOCES. The goals of our school programming are simple: to provide programs that are engaging for students, content intensive for teachers, and manipulative rich for retention. Our programs are a great way to kick off or culminate a themed unit!

Students GET THEIR HANDS-ON the five senses, water and bubbles or static electricity. ROLE PLAY paleontologists, squatters, EJ tanners, and newspaper reporters. Children LEARN when they touch, role-play, explore, discover, observe, experiment and challenge themselves with our engaging school programs. We offer three program formats for you to choose from:
