The most widely scheduled program in CT, NY, RI & MA - And the most affordable!

Sarah Grant, Teacher, Noroton Nursery School, Darien, CT
"The kids absolutely loved Huga Tuga.  We have had programs in the past but nothing like this.  The kids raved about the special effects, Huga Tuga song and the freeze dance.  It was the most creative literary program I have seen.  P.S. – The mom’s wanted me to thank you.  Their children brought home the Huga Tuga books and they read them every night while cuddling with the Huga Tuga plush toy.  They know all the words by heart.” 
Heidi Johnson, Kid’s Castle School – Brookfield, CT
"I just want to say you were a breath of fresh air!  I can’t wait for my youngest son to see you “live” someday soon.  I’m writing to just say “Thanks” our world needs people like you!"
