Experience the Joy of Caring for Puppies This Summer!

In the summer of 2026, Plus One Education, a subsidiary of Riso Educational Group, is excited to host the "Summer Puppy Care Diary". This two-day event will take place in Okayama City, Aichi Prefecture, specifically at the IPC Wanwan Zoo. This program is designed for children aged between first and sixth grade, promoting a love for animals through hands-on experiences and guided learning.

Highlights of the Program

1. Become a Puppy Parent!

Kids will have the unique opportunity to become "puppy parents" to playful puppies aged between three months to one year. They will support their assigned puppy through various activities, including the dog's first walk and even pool play sessions. This immersive experience ensures that children develop a sense of responsibility and care through the joy of nurturing a puppy.

2. Expert Guidance for a Safe Experience

Children will be supported by the knowledgeable staff of the IPC Wanwan Zoo, receiving instruction on how to interact correctly with their furry companions. This is especially beneficial for children who may not have the chance to own a pet at home. The program is tailored for those who cherish animals and wish to explore their love for pets in a safe environment.

3. Building Bonds Through Care

Healthy interactions form the basis of any relationship. The program includes feeding sessions and plenty of cuddling time, allowing children to deepen their bond with the puppies. Participants will also cultivate empathy and kindness towards all living beings through these experiences.
