Animals are a fantastic source of learning, exploring, questioning and investigating. They quickly and deeply engage most young learners simply with their presence. Many important life skills are practiced when encountering animals including patience, respect, volume control and behavior management. The experience can be equally beneficial to the animals and both participants gain comfort through the monitored encounters. Below are some examples of unique animal engagement experiences in years past.
