Caring Kids is an educational partnership presented by the New Mexico Wildlife Center and the Santa Fe Animal Shelter. This free program is specifically designed for fourth grade classrooms and is focused around animals.
Through the use of the curriculum’s Core Principles: Responsibility, Compassion, Safety, and Environmental Awareness, we encourage a healthy connection with companion animals and wildlife.
During this four-week program, educators from the Wildlife Center and the Animal Shelter will introduce the Core Principles and alternate live animal presentations to show how they relate to companion and wild animals. The final session will give the students a chance to demonstrate what they’ve learned while becoming a Caring Kid! This collaboration is designed for maximum student attention and interest while focusing on the principals of student education, and most importantly, to their future development of animal welfare.
