children.

objective behind an event like creepy crawly is to involve all the
children of the community an opportunity to engage in a learning
philosophy we deeply believe in; which is active, interactive and highly
engaging learning. The hallmark of the event was the children were able
to interact with all the exhibits which leads to the development of a
mind that is curious, eager to experiment and to create. More than
