South East Education Officer, Deirdre, went to visit the lovely Clareville Montessori in Carlow last week. She brought a bag of lots of different things that a dog needs and all the children had a wonderful time picking things out of the bag and learning how to look after dogs. The children helped put out the bed for Sadhbh and Conan and make sure they had water in their bowl.
Then it was time to meet the Education Dogs! The children listened carefully about how to be calm and gentle around dogs and one by one they came up to the dogs, let the dogs smell their safe hand and gave the dogs a rub. It was great fun! Some children were a little nervous of dogs but Sadhbh and Conan are so friendly that they were able to come up and say hello and everyone understood how important it is to always ask the owner before you meet a dog.
The South Eastern team really enjoyed visiting this great crèche because the staff were all so kind and welcoming.
