Home Education Classes with Animals

We offer unique home education classes that provide children and young people with hands-on learning opportunities alongside animals. These classes are designed to educate, inspire, and ignite a love for nature and wildlife in children of all ages.

What Do These Classes Include?

Our sessions focus on fostering environmental awareness, understanding animal behaviour, and promoting empathy for all living creatures. With direct interaction with animals, children and young people gain invaluable learning experiences that are both informative and enjoyable.

  • Interactive workshops featuring a variety of animals
  • Activities designed to spark curiosity about wildlife and conservation
  • Small group settings to ensure personal attention and an immersive experience

Why Choose Our Program

Our professional team combines educational expertise with a passion for wildlife to create a safe and encouraging environment for learning. Whether it’s stroking a rabbit, feeding a bearded dragon, or observing sea creatures of the deep in our Sensory Community Aquarium, every session is crafted with care to engage children and teach them valuable skills.
