teacher with over 15 years of
educational experience in both formal
and informal settings. She is passionate about bringing her love of wildlife
and the natural world into the
classroom. Ms. Sarah believes that
children are natural scientists and that
they learn by participating in hands
on activities, projects and
explorations.
Marnie Emond is a certified teacher.
She has a Masters Degree in
Education. Her interest and focus
has been on teaching preschool
children. She enjoys the enthusiasm
and wonder young children have for
learning new things. She believes the
zoo and the animals are a great
platform to foster a love of school
and learning in students.
"We love how our zookids have a unique
learning experience by essentially having a
living alphabet right in their classroom. The
kids achieve academic readiness for kindergarten while being taught the science of
wildlife exploration."
