Voorhees, NJ — Following the success of the Wags & Wiggles toddler classes, the Animal Welfare Association (AWA) is thrilled to announce the launch of its newest educational program, the Pawsitive Kids Club. Designed for children ages 5-7, this program aims to enhance children's knowledge of animal safety, kindness, and compassion through fun and interactive activities.

The Pawsitive Kids Club offers a 60-minute class that engages children in animal education by incorporating activities they already know and love. The program includes an instructor-led reading circle, group movement activities, and crafts, all centered around the animals they adore. Each session is thoughtfully crafted to inspire excitement and curiosity about animals while fostering a sense of responsibility and empathy.

"We are excited to expand our educational offerings with the Pawsitive Kids Club," said Laura Houston, Executive Director of AWA. "This program not only teaches children important lessons about animal safety and kindness but also provides a joyful and engaging experience that encourages a lifelong love for animals."

The Pawsitive Kids Club is part of AWA's commitment to promoting the human-animal bond and creating a compassionate community. By educating young children, AWA aims to instill values of empathy and care for animals from an early age, contributing to the well-being of both the children and the animals they will grow up caring for.

Registration for the Pawsitive Kids Club is now open. For more information about the program and how to enroll, contact the AWA Education Team.
