Education Department in Salisbury, Wicomico County, United States | Educational programme

Welcome to the Education Department at Salisbury Zoo, Salisbury, Maryland, United States. The Salisbury Zoo Education Department, Maryland, exists to promote an understanding and appreciation of wildlife, and to encourage the protection of animal populations, the preservation of habitats, ecological balance and diversity.
CAT (Certified Animal Team) Training: CAT trained docents are an important part of our Education Department. The Education Departments mission is to promote an understanding and appreciation of wildlife, and to encourage the protection of animal populations, the preservation of habitats, ecological balance and diversity. With the additional assistance of the Certified Animal Team we are able to expand the number of programs we offer our community and in turn promote our mission in a variety of locations other than the zoo.
Story Time: The Education Department wants to give a great big THANK YOU and a huge round of applause to our Docent-led Story Time crew. This dedicated group spends a tremendous amount of time and effort preparing educational and fun facts, crafts, songs and activities for our community?s young children that attend their sessions. Over the past few months the same families have been seen coming back to story time over and over; it?s apparent that these families have discovered how informative and interactive these sessions are and how well their children respond to these wonderfully talented women.
Beginning in January, you will find them planning, cutting, creating and researching topics in the visitor center on Tuesday mornings. The Story Time Crew welcomes anyone interested in assisting with reading the selected story, presenting fact or helping with a loud and uninhibited singing voice.
In order to accommodate the large family crowds that attend Story Time, the sessions will continue to meet in the Education Center when programming resumes next year. If you have never experienced a story time session, place it on your weekly schedule. The Story Time Crew can be found in the education center on Tuesday mornings, rain or shine.
