Open minds

Education's purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one. — Malcolm Forbes

A total gem

The Leslie Science and Nature Center is a wonderful place to introduce children to nature! Their educators are top-notch people who make their presentations educational, entertaining, and engaging. I've hired them and worked with them on many occasions, and I look forward to working with them more in the future. LSNC is a total gem!
