Children at the Our Children Our Future daycare centre at Alliance St-Joseph in Chelmsford got a surprise visit Monday morning.
They spent a few hours with creatures of all kinds from Northern Exotics.
Natalie Lafleur brought with her a bunny, a chicken, a few snakes and lizards, as well as a tarantula to entertain and teach the youngsters about the different species of animals in the world.
The kids delighted in being able to touch and pet their new scaly, hairy or feathered friends.
