Critter Connections is our parent and tot program for children ages 3 to 5. This four-week program introduces children and their parents to different furry – and not so furry – animals, and it also gives children the opportunity to socialize with other kids their age. Participants will learn about animals and their needs through arts and crafts, speakers and stories. In addition to teaching lessons about animals, the classes also will help children develop a sense of responsibility, compassion and the humane treatment of animals.
