Pam's Job

Since Sr. Susan is back, Pam has a new job every friday afternoon. What is hiding behind "dog therapy" is a relaxed afternoon for the children of room 3A and L. from room 8 with their pet, the dog Pam. We put the children on matresses and Pam says "hello" and gives her "kisses".
The easiest way, to win Pam's attention is with food, what else... So it's nice for her and interesting for the children, when we put some tasty dog food in the hands of the children and let them feed the dog.




As long as it was warm enough, the "dog therapy" took place in the Snoezelen Garden - the home of Pam. For the colder months it is in one of the classrooms.

Snoezelen in the rooms



In the winter we are often confined to closed in areas. So many of the care givers choose at least one afternoon a week to convert their room into a Snoezelen.
