  • Program Goal & Objective

  • Benefits of Program


The main objective of Kiddie Kare A’Kademie’s Bow Wow Book Club is to provide a relaxed and “dog-friendly” atmosphere, which allows students to practice the skill of reading. Many of the children at our daycare are in preschool and therefore in the early stages of reading. Also, some of our school-aged students, who arrive from Jeffrey Elementary for our after school program, have difficulties reading and as a result have developed self-esteem issues. They are often self-conscious when reading aloud in front of other classmates. By sitting down next to a dog and reading to the dog, all threats of being judged are put aside. The child relaxes, pats the attentive dog, and focuses on the reading. Reading improves because the child is practicing the skill, building self-esteem, and associating reading with something pleasant.

Improving the child’s skill of reading is the major benefit of this daycare program. But, there are many more positives that arise from this activity.
  • Great opportunity for students: children flourish, and reading scores improve.
  • Builds excitement about reading. Indeed, many children talk about going home and reading to their own dog or other pet. What better way to improve a skill than to practice it?
  • The joy children get from being around a dog. Most children seem to naturally love animals, and especially dogs. Imagine the positive motivation this gives to a child as he/she sits by, reads to, and pats a calm and gentle dog.
  • Unfortunately, not all children are comfortable around dogs. Some children that have not had an opportunity to be with dogs have a fear of them. As a child interacts with a Resource K9 dog, such as K9 Magnum, they develop a better understanding of dogs.
  • This program is of course, geared to helping the children. But, there are benefits for handlers, too. It gives people an opportunity to give back to the community. By helping children become better readers, we are helping them to become better students, and in the future, more productive citizens.

Magnum

 

Meet K9 Magnum

 

Resource K9 Magnum is a two year old pup. He was born on February 14, 2013 to K9 Anya, a full blooded German Shepherd. K9 Anya is presently teamed with a disabled marine veteran as his Service Dog In Training (SDIT).

 

Magnum was one of six in the litter. He has four brothers – two of which are continuing their training to become therapy dogs – and one sister who is also in training to be a therapy dog. Magnum is the second Resource K9 to be placed in a private school by Rettungs-Haus Shepherds, Inc.

 

Ms. Holly Tuttle, owner of Kiddie Kare A’Kademie, adopted K9 Magnum on April 3, 2013. Magnum continues his training through RHS, and at one year of age he will complete his therapy dog certification.

Each of our classrooms have their own Facebook page that is only available for viewing by each child's parents. (Unless you tag yourself in a picture for your family members and friends to see.) We take caring for your child very seriously. This is why our classroom FB pages are not made public. We post pictures daily and update our statuses so parents know what their child learned that day and to keep you aware of any and all upcoming events - field trips, parties, etc.
