Classroom Programs

Lollypop Farm classroom programs feature interactive, educational presentations about specific subjects in animal welfare. Our education team can provide programs live and in-person, or virtually via ZOOM. Programs are tailored to the audience’s age level and interests and are available to all audiences – including, friends/families, schools, clubs, home school groups, and community organizations.

Most programs are 45-60 minutes unless otherwise specified. Offsite classroom programs require presentation space, a small table for materials, access to WiFi, and a screen and appropriate technology to display PowerPoint presentations.
