Testimonials
A beautiful program. The garden encouraged the children at Kiddies On First Early Learning Child Care Centre to explore insects and their habitats to foster a simple understanding of biodiversity. Children increased their knowledge and respect for the natural environment as they witnessed the caterpillars transformation to a glorious butterfly. The highlight was releasing the butterfly into the natural environment. Highly recommended.

Highly recommend the Butterfly experience. Having now done it twice, we can say it is still as interesting and amazing watching the full life cycle of the butterfly unfold in front of your eyes. We have been memorized at the chrysalis and hatching process and, holding those magical butterflies on your finger at the end as you release them into nature is very special! Helen is professional and the whole experience is VERY easy to manage, and take care of.

We loved having our butterfly garden. It was a great way for children, families and educators to observe the life cycle of a butterfly up close. Helen was wonderful, gave us all the information we needed to look after the caterpillars and butterflies. Thanks Helen 🦋

We had a wonderful experience with Ladybug Academy. Helen was knowledegable, and willing to answer any questions. This experience connected educators, children and parents as each day they would gather around the enclosure and discuss the progress.
This resources that came with the enclosure were detailed and informative, leaving us feeling confident that we were able to provide the best care for the butterflies.
I would highly recommend this experience to anyone interested and we will definitely have it at our centre again in the future.
