Benefits of Introducing Kids to Animals

 

Staying true to the culture of our Gilbert community, we are providing a new program which introduces children to the benefits of taking care of our environment and being good stewards of the animals God has placed into our care.

 

A study by the University of Colorado recently outlines the lifelong benefits of agriculture, which include:

 

- Children who are more likely to eat fruit & veggies​

​

- Enhanced overall student achievement

​

- Positive attitudes and anticipation of school

​

​- Increased responsibility to care for the environment

​

​- Positively impact mental health and well being

​

- ​Increased self understanding and the ability to work well in groups
