A Fun, Free Lesson Plan that Teaches Kids Responsible Pet Ownership and Helps Meet National and State Standards

CareFRESH® Critter College™ is a program designed to teach students about the unique characteristics of small animals – such as rabbits, guinea pigs, gerbils, hamsters, rats and mice – which ones make good pets, and how to care for them. The curriculum is geared towards teaching students in grades K-6 about responsible pet parenting, and is flexible, so one segment or several segments can be presented during a classroom session. The Critter College Kit is available free to qualified teachers or youth leaders. Not a teacher or youth leader, but still want to teach a kid about responsible pet ownership? That’s okay, you can still download the curriculum for free!
