Introducing school children to animals early on in life is a great way to help them learn valuable life skills, including showing empathy and respect towards all beings, understanding the circle of life, learning to appreciate the natural world, and navigating everyday social interactions.
We believe that our connection with nature should be explored from an early age and that engaging with animals can be a powerful experience for young children. This is why we have carefully developed pre-school sessions based on the EYFS statutory framework, providing a solid foundation and equal opportunities for all.
So, what do we offer?
Twycross Zoo provides a unique learning experience for your pupils. The sessions we provide can be specifically tailored to be suitable for all levels of special needs. Contact us to learn about the different types of learning experiences.
