By interacting with animals at a young age the children develop an appreciation, understanding and respect for animals that can then be built upon as they grow. Young children get the opportunity to recognize how animals are a lot like them by comparing their bodies and daily needs to those of other living things.
Each program is 45-60 minutes, standards-based, interactive and engaging for you and your child. Explore new topics with us each month as we wonder and wander together.
