APNM’s The Animal Connection takes two forms: a four-week program designed for Pre-K through 2nd grade (The Animal Connection, Jr.) and a 12 week program with topics and content adaptable for all ages and abilities within grades 3-12 (The Animal Connection). Interactive presentations make use of registered therapy dogs, simulation games, and activities to engage students and lead them to understanding humane stewardship of animals and its connection to developing empathy and concern for their peers, families, and community.
The APNM educational team can also create presentations based on a specific concern(s) of the requestor.
