At Great Start Conferences families can sign the Parent Permission Form for their child to be in contact with Flora, our school therapy dog, throughout the day.
Therapy dogs provide many benefits. They help children learn compassion, empathy, responsibility, respect, and self-discipline. Therapy dogs offer comfort and non-judgmental love. Studies have proven that even a short amount of time with a dog can decrease levels of anxiety and increase emotional security.
Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
