School Programs

Let our little "zoo" come to you for an unforgettable school day! We are offering both assembly- and classroom-style animal education programs to local schools for students of all grade levels and group sizes. 

This program involves presenting live animals such as reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates, providing a unique opportunity for students to learn about and interact with often misunderstood animals, their environments, and ecosystems. The goal of this program is to bring natural science into classrooms, connecting students to the natural world around them. 

We are offering programs that may be booked as assemblies by grand bands, designed to integrate core curriculum and SEL at the appropriate level of participating students. We are also offering programs suited to smaller, individual classrooms. If you need a customized program, we have the flexibility to develop programs suited to the specific needs of you and your students.  

The general program timeline is as follows (but can be adjusted as needed):

  • 30 minutes for set up/arrivals

  • 45 minutes* for the assembly/classroom presentation

    • Introduction/best practices for safety

    • Meet the animals (sharing and interaction with various species, their environments, ecosystems, and lifestyles)

    • Reflection of presentation/review of shared information

    • Final questions

    • *​additional time may be scheduled by request at additional cost

See what people are saying about Reach Out Reptiles Experiences

"Hadley did an amazing job! I wasn’t expecting it to be that detailed of a presentation, it was great. I used to be scared of snakes but even I held a couple because she seemed so confident that they would stay calm if we stayed calm and were gentle with them. I learned a lot and really enjoyed it too, thanks again!"

     --- Chrissy D.    (In-Person Kids' Program)

"Garrett Hartle and Hadley were extremely personable and friendly, not to mention informative !!! We enjoyed seeing the differences in the snakes and we did decide to go with a his and hers- maybe at some point an “ours” as well. I can promise if you do the experience, your questions will be more than answered- maybe even some you didn’t think about! We cannot wait to make our purchase now- this was just a step in our journey and it was incredible!"
