Early Education Program
What we do & how we can help you in the classroom
A Early Education Program about the safety and care of pets in education. Our education program is geared towards classrooms targeting grades K-3 and will focus on age-appropriate lessons about interacting with animals. Incorporating interactive activites and visual aids can enage young learners and reinforce key safety messages. Topics may include how to approach animals, recognizing signs of stress or fear in pets, understanding basic pet care needs, and practicing responsible pet ownership. Emphasizing the importance of asking for permission before petting unfamiliar animals and how to properly handle pets can empower children to make safe choices around animals both at home and in the community. By instilling these foundational skills early on, the program aims to promote empathy, respect, and safety in childrens interactions with animals.

Pet Safety Tips for Children
Teach children never to approach or disturb a dog while they are eating, sleeping, or caring for their puppies, as these actions can startle or distress the dog.
Avoid children hugging, kissing, or pulling on a dog's ears or tails, as these actions can startle or distress the dog.
It's crucial to teach children to never pull on a dog's ears as this can cause pain and discomfort for the dog. Pulling on a dog's eas can also lead to aggression or fear-based reactions, increasing the risk of injury to both the child and the dog.
A safety tip for children around birds is to approach them calmy and quietly, avoiding sudden movements or loud noises that can startle them. Additionally, instruct children never to attempt to grab or chase birds, but instead to observe them from a distance to avoid causing stress or harm to the birds.
