It's the most powerful for kids 4 and 5 years old. We offer their first experience of an animal outside their knowledge at home. With their parents and the contact area volunteers as guides, they go ahead and reach out and explore and when they're positively reinforced, they can move forward with confidence and then the learning really starts. |
Our horses look exactly like draft horses, but smaller. Our cows look just like cows, but in miniature. |
Reverence for life starts usually with the first pet. If you can get kids to care and associate with animals from an early age, they're far more likely to have a care and concern for all life when they're teenagers. |
