Prompt:
Warmly champion a round-up article about Animals Abound Preschool at Niantic Children’s Museum. Start with a friendly, inviting tone and weave in the Oct 10 session as the centerpiece. Outline what makes this four-week, Friday 1–2 pm series special for 3–5 year olds, including live guests like a Russian tortoise and other animal themes (sea creatures, pets, reptiles). Describe learning outcomes, the schedule, and registration details (pre-registration, membership requirements, pricing: $44 member, $68 nonmember, includes museum admission). Tie the event to broader local early childhood education resources, and suggest practical takeaways for parents exploring preschool programs. Include quotes from imagined organizers or parents, a pull-quote about discovery through animals, and a short sidebar with tips for interested families on how to choose a preschool program that aligns with local resources. End with a warm call-to-action encouraging readers to plan a visit and to check more events on the museum site.
