Pet Week at the Preschool

We had such a fun time with the Preschoolers at Mother Goose and Gander Preschool! Thank you for inviting us to share a wonderful day with the kids. It's always a great experience for us to be able to share the first touch of a snake or the "tickle kiss" of a rat. The kids were great and they were so enthusiastic about seeing and interacting with the animals!

It's never too early to start sharing animals with kids. Special precautions are recommended for the really young ones, but when introduced to animals early in life, children learn respect for all creatures, including siblings and classmates. Classroom and family pets are a wonderful way to help children bond with animals and use that bond of respect to relate to wildlife and nature.
