Pet Day at MMI Pre School

View(s):

Researches have shown that the presence of pets is beneficial to human health and well-being. Pets can have a profound impact on the psychological and intellectual development of children, which is why having a class pet or setting aside a designated day as “pet day” can be extremely beneficial to students and teachers alike.

We had a “Pet day” at MMI this month for the Playgroup and the Nursery classes which is our smallest class groups at MMI and everyone seemed busy getting in line to see and feed their favorite pet.

Children are naturally curious and imaginative, and having a pet around can stimulate that natural curiosity. Most children are inquisitive about animals, regardless of whether they have a pet at home or not. The teachers claimed that the presence of an animal seemed to stimulate their students’ creativity in the arts. Even students who did not have a natural aptitude for the arts would draw pictures involving these animals.
