Special Events/ Field Trips

 

Preschoolers making small forts out of sticksWalking Trips

Our preschool classes take several walking trips throughout the year to explore the woods, fire station, local businesses, farms, and nature. These walking field trips provide opportunities for preschool students to learn about our community and natural environment while developing communication skills, gross motor skills, cognitive skills, self help skills, and language skills!

A single permission slip goes home at the beginning of the year for these types of walking field trips. Students who do not have permission will be provided an alternative activity for that time.

Field Trips

Once or twice a year, the preschool students will take a bus field trip to other parts of our community such as the apple orchard. Permission slips will be sent home that outline the specific field trip, date and cost. Students who do not have permission will be provided an alternative activity for that time.
