Animal Care
Caring for animals fosters empathy, reduces stress, instills a sense of purpose, and promotes emotional well-being.
Gardening
Gardening teaches children patience, responsibility, environmental awareness, teamwork, problem solving, science, nutrition and connects them to nature’s cycles.
