Compass Kids Academy are kind kids

At Compass Kids Academy as part of our curriculum children will be exposed to gentle animals and will share in the responsibility to feed, nurture and play all while learning empathy and kindness to all living beings🐰🐇

We aim to enrich the classroom/beyond the classroom experience.

There are so many benefits to introducing kids to furry animals in a school environment.

Lets see why!

Observing and caring for an animal instils a sense of responsibility and respect for life. Interaction with rabbits will aid in increased sensitivity and awareness of the feelings and needs of others—both animals and humans.

This also teaches kids that all living things need more than just food and water for survival. This also equips children with the emotion and process of dealing with grief, loss and stress

Ultimately caring for animals in the classroom/at school is one way of improving school attendance and teaching children about responsibility.

The Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne says they are important because they provide enjoyment and help children develop responsibility transferable to adulthood. They can give children support, confidence, esteem, and comfort.

Let’s talk allergies:

A recent study reveals that children regularly exposed to furry pets, such as dogs, cats and rabbits, will have less risk of:

Allergies

eczema, and have higher levels of some immune system chemicals

Studies show that children from families with pets are better equipped to fight off infection than kids from non-pet households, showing significantly higher levels of immune system performance.

When school attendance records were compared side by side, researchers discovered that kids with pets averaged more days at school every year than their pet-free counterparts.

Strengthening their immune system naturally! ✨💫🌱
