Early Childhood and Preschool visits feature animal-themed stories. We have a range of quality children's literature which helps us to discuss animal care and shelter animals with young children.
- Dress ups, play vet kits, felt boards, pre reading/writing activities, counting activities, playdough mats, building animal environments and more.
- Stencils, drawing, stamps, creating paper plate animal puppets.
Sessions run for 30 - 45 minutes and are suitable for up to 25 children. Sessions are run free of charge, however, we will accept any voluntary donation to our Shelter.
- A fun demonstration of our shelter and the stories behind our animals in care. Content can be adjusted to also include information on Dog Safety, Animal Care Careers, General RSPCA ACT, animal training/behaviour or humane farming practices.
- Play-based experiences such as vet/microchip checks on realistic plush animals.
- Making enrichment items including kitten toys, dog food enrichment, mouse tunnels and more. Activities depend on the needs of the shelter, interests of the group and available resources.
- Depending on the year level, sessions may include writing activities such as posters, reflection writing, instructional writing and letters or narratives.
