Interesting about this job
We organize half-hour storytimes at the petting zoo. During these sessions, children listen to short stories about farm animals. Reading aloud helps children develop their language. It also stimulates their imaginations and teaches them more about our farm animals. The children enjoy sitting on the straw bales in our barn. We offer this program to individual visitors and to groups from SKSG and similar organizations.
