Holland and Dutch
Our two four-legged staff members take their jobs very seriously. As our resident support dogs, they specialize in reducing stress, boosting smiles, and reminding everyone that sometimes the best lesson of the day is the power of a wagging tail and unlimited encouragement.
The "G.O.A.T.s"
Our goats have appointed themselves the official fitness coaches of the learning center. Always ready for a stroll (or a snack), they happily accompany students on walks around the property, proving that exercise is more fun when your walking buddies have hooves, curious personalities, and absolutely no respect for personal space. They keep everyone moving—and laughing—one step at a time.
Willow
Our resident rabbit is living proof that big personalities can come in very fluffy packages. Equal parts curious, clever, and lightning-fast when the mood strikes, this long-eared friend is always happy to pause for gentle attention—on rabbit terms, of course. Whether hopping into the spotlight or supervising from a cozy corner, our bunny has a knack for bringing smiles wherever those little paws lead.

Arnold
Meet Arnold, our porky ambassador of happiness. Equal parts charming, opinionated, and always on the lookout for his next snack, Arnold has mastered the fine art of making people smile. Whether he's greeting visitors with a curious snout or reminding everyone that mealtime is a serious business, he proves that some of life's best lessons come with four hooves, a curly tail, and plenty of personality.
