About Our Sponsor

Night Zookeeper sponsored this episode.

Thank you, Night Zookeeper, for sponsoring this episode. Learning is fun, so the Night Zookeeper educational online program is a big hit in my house. My 9-year-old loves it. She asks to use it at least three days a week (weekends included). I can’t say I blame her; it is a very engaging language arts program with many great features. I love that it provides a safe online environment for my children. Tutors review all shared content to ensure their safety while in the Night Zookeeper realm. My little love creating new zoo characters and leveling them up by playing games, building accessories, and writing reports. Even my 7-year-old reluctant writer and reader thoroughly enjoys this program. It feels more like playing than learning, which is what this homeschooling mama needs for her favorite little lion. As a former tutor with America Reads and a five-year homeschool veteran, this is one educational tool that I highly recommend.
