They take a school van with boosters and have to be older than 4. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weekly-field-trips#post-2572146 Wed, 22 Jun 2016 12:30:29 +0000 Mamaof2 2572146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes they do - cant remember where but lots of fun things - they take a school bus </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weekly-field-trips#post-2572087 Wed, 22 Jun 2016 11:45:50 +0000 KT326 2572087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No field trips but they have special activities planned all throughout the summer. The first day of summer session they had a bounce house. They also have a different theme for each week. Last week was pirates, they had a visit from tinkerbell and a treasure hunt on Friday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weekly-field-trips#post-2572080 Wed, 22 Jun 2016 11:40:12 +0000 regberadaisy 2572080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaG: what are the rules?</p> <p>@KayKay: yup, our center has a "short" bus and all kids under 4 need to have a car seat. We still send our daughters even though she's 4! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weekly-field-trips#post-2572058 Wed, 22 Jun 2016 11:23:39 +0000 KayKay 2572058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1s preschool did monthly field trips during the school year, but none during the "summer camp" sessions. Her old school in CO did awesome ones every 1-2 weeks -- a trip to a family's farm/ranch, one to Glenwood caverns, one to a rose garden/amphitheater, a nature hike/picnic around a mountain lake, etc etc. Plus a water day every weeks. It was amazing.</p> <p>They also rented out passenger vans and used their carseats/boosters to transport them, so I felt a LOT more comfortable with them taking trips farther away (30-45min). Here they just use school buses, so I wouldn't feel great about a bunch of preschoolers going much farther than 10-15min down the road. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weekly-field-trips#post-2572057 Wed, 22 Jun 2016 11:23:19 +0000 MamaG 2572057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No trips, state law makes transporting kids under 5 challenging. They do have a lot of activities though. This month they had pony rides, train rides, a magic show, a performer (music/puppets), outdoor chalk day and splash days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weekly-field-trips#post-2572052 Wed, 22 Jun 2016 11:14:59 +0000 regberadaisy 2572052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If your older LO is in childcare for the summer, do they have weekly field trips planned?</p> <p>DD1 is 4 and for the month of July they've got a trip to the splash pad, movies, big playground by the park, a park picnic, ice cream truck coming to the center and a BBQ planned where there is a big bounce house and everything. </p> <p>I'm pretty jealous! </p>
