Most kids naturally love animals, but did you know that a child who learns to care for an animal treat people the same way. At Aussie Adventures Child Care & Kindergarten, we encourage children to interact with our farm animals.
Other than building great memories, growing up around animals serves some incredible purposes for emotional development and physical health.
- Children with a companion animal have higher self-esteem
- Kids with animals as pets have fewer allergies and asthma
- Animals are therapeutic and curb anxiety
- Animals teach kids about patience and self-control
