SoundKids make a new friend!

February 7, 2016/in Blog

In addition to playing fun science games and completing creative projects, our SoundKids preschoolers are introduced to all sorts of animals native to Long Island Sound. One of the children’s favorite guests is a diamondback terrapin! The children learn all about how his webbed feet help him swim, why a shell is so important, and where his habitat is. Best of all, they get to meet him face to face!
