Children love animals and there are a range of benefits and learning experiences to be gained from keeping animals in early education services. Animals provide a great opportunity for children to learn about responsibility, through handling, feeding and cleaning them and they can also be a valuable source of inspiration for the curriculum.

This article considers the main factors to keep in mind when deciding whether to keep an animal in your service.
