Your Staff Team
During the activity session, we will lead a variety of activities alongside a member of your staff team. In other words the content and organisation of the session will depend on your priorities. Moreover the needs of the children involved. Therapy Animals help to:
- increase motivation and engagement in learning

In addition we deliver activities to individual children or to small groups of children. Furthermore, it’s up to you how you’d like to use the time but we will be more than happy to discuss the options and advise you where we can.
