Education

A passion for learning is one of the most valuable gifts we can give to future generations.  Our innovative hands-on education programs bring participants of all ages and these amazing creatures together for an interactive experience unlike any other.  We offer a full range of mobile education programs including classroom, assemblies, field events, birthdays and private parties and summer camps.  We are committed to bringing education to life  by planting the seeds of curiosity for exploration of the world we all share.

EcoVivarium^® is a 501(c)(3) non-profit founded in 2009 with the focus to ignite a passion for learning beyond the textbook and classroom, a passion that will elevate the educational experience both in classroom performance and beyond.  We present our programs with the assistance from our special educational partners from the reptile, amphibian and arthropod communities.  Our animals are unique not only by their species, but by the fact that more than 98% of them are rescues.  These amazing creatures have been rehabilitated and trained by our dedicated staff of educators and volunteers to serve as ambassadors encouraging excellence in educational endeavors of individuals and to share the message of the importance of good stewardship for our world and all the creatures in it. 

Our goal is to instill in our students an excitement for learning by connecting the dots from our unique education partners to the world around them and across their entire educational experience.  EcoVivarium has a special focus in reaching out to at-risk populations and underserved communities.  Our lead staff has nearly two decades of experience in working with special needs individuals and at-risk students.  All of the innovative programs EcoVivarium offers are dedicated to promoting the study in science and mathematics while simultaneously helping participants of all ages "connect the dots" between STEM coursework, history, cultural studies, language arts, geography, the environment and beyond.  Learners are guided through an exploration of this varied subject matter through hands-on interaction with our animal hosts that stimulate participation and a new excitement for learning. 

EcoVivarium is not just a K-12 program! We have served over the past 10 years as trainers for local law enforcement, animal services and humane society staff, state and national emergency relief personnel, international disaster relief organizations catering to animals in crises and even as pet therapists for the special needs and senior communities.  Our animals and staff have been featured on multiple television broadcasts and served as expert advisors in the print media.  But our experience does not end there; we also have extensive experience in providing unique entertainment experiences for private parties, local community programs and corporate events!  Our programs serve everyone from 1 to 104, with a unique and exciting experience that fosters continued learning, appreciation for this amazing world we inhabit and memories that last a lifetime!
