Frequently Asked Questions


Q: Do I need lots of room for the Animal Encounters?
A: No, most lessons are held in the classroom or the hall depending on the Class/Group sizes.

Q:  How many people can take part in the Animal Encounters?
A: There is no limit to the class size for any of the sessions, but as you will appreciate the larger the group of children the less time there is for individual handling. In individual class situations Jay can usually let all the children handle the animals.
