Various trips are taken by the children throughout the year to places of special interest. Detailed information about the trip will be sent home prior to such excursions. Trips are an integral part of the program. If for some reason parents do not wish for their child to participate, alternate arrangements for your child's care must be made. There is no reduction in fees for an absence due to non-participation. Parent volunteers are always welcome to join their child on an outing.
