Looking for an activity for your animal loving pre-school kids?
Location: Monbulk
Week Date: Every Tuesday
Time: 9:30am - 11:00am
Do you love the idea of your child hanging out with animals, but can’t justify the hundreds of dollars an hour for horse riding lessons, or the crowds and mistreatment of animals at a petting farm? Do you want someone that your kids can talk to and learn from? Help them build relationships with themselves, peers, animals and nature?
A Unique Adventure for Your Little One
Picture this. Your child, wide-eyed and bubbling with excitement, steps onto a beautiful farm full of friendly animals ready for their weekly dose of care and affection. Imagine their laughter filling the air as they engage in lively conversations, asking a million questions about the animals they meet. The Farm Guardian program is here to turn this picture into reality, offering your little ones an enchanting experience they won't find in any classroom.
Creating Bonds that Last a Lifetime
Every week, our program shines the spotlight on a different animal on the farm. One week, your child might be trimming the hooves of a playful goat. The next week, they might be sprucing up the cozy chook house. Every visit is a surprise, a new adventure waiting to unfold. Your child's eyes will light up as they meet their special animal friend for the week. They'll learn about their friend's needs and how to care for them. From dealing with the daily 'poop' to understanding the importance of keeping their habitats clean, your child will learn valuable lessons in responsibility and compassion. These experiences will help them form deep connections with their animal friends, and create memories that will last a lifetime.
These aren't just tasks - they're experiences that open their eyes to the responsibility of caring for another life, teaching compassion, dedication, and problem-solving skills that are invaluable in every walk of life.
Turning Tasks into Fun
Taking a leaf out of Mary Poppins' book, we believe that every job can be made fun. While cleaning out the pig's pen or tidying the horse's stable might not sound appealing at first, we have a knack for turning these tasks into delightful games. A bit of imagination, a dash of fun, and voila - mundane chores transform into enjoyable activities!
And, when their hands get chilly from the outdoor fun, we've got just the thing to warm them up - a delicious hot chocolate and a freshly-baked cookie. It's the perfect ending to a day filled with learning, laughter, and love.
A Guide, Mentor, and Friend
With my experience as a qualified equine-assisted learning practitioner, I am someone your child can confide in, learn from, and look up to. With my guidance, every interaction your child has on the farm turns into a valuable lesson. I understand that each child is unique, and so is their way of expressing and connecting. By fostering a nurturing, non-judgmental environment, I encourage your child to open up, engage in meaningful interactions, and build relationships.
This isn't just about making friends with their peers or the animals they meet every week. It's also about nurturing a relationship with themselves and with nature. I facilitate these connections, helping children understand their emotions better, communicate more effectively, and appreciate the natural world around them. I also have a knack for making learning fun and relatable.
Whether it's understanding the responsibility that comes with caring for another being or learning to empathize with animals' needs, I always tie these lessons back to the children's lives. I'm not just teaching them how to take care of animals - I'm preparing them to be mindful, empathetic individuals who understand the importance of mutual respect and care.
