Animals Small and Large Delight on Staten Island
The CP team on Staten Island at the Cora Hoffman Center have been getting wild and delighting in the experience of interacting and learning about different types of insects and animals.
For Day Hab participants, the last three weeks have been partially devoted to the raising of caterpillars and watching with anticipation as they cocooned and transformed into butterflies! A group release into the wild resulted in big smiles as they watched the beloved butterflies flutter into the sun.
The animal fun didn’t stop there, as Day Hab members also enjoyed a trip to the Staten Island Zoo for aquatic and larger animal viewing and education:
Later on, a special visit to Cora Hoffman Center by the SI Zoo outreach team brought some cuddly and not so cuddly animals for even more petting (and testing of bravery when it came to the big snake!).
CP will always think broadly and creatively about how to help people with I/DD achieve fulfilling lives and we appreciate all of our partners on Staten Island who help make this a reality in unique ways with creatures big and small!
