Each group brings a “Field Trip Knapsack” with Emergency Contact Numbers, First Aid Kits, money and a cell phone. A written report with the list of all children participating, the time of departure and return and the group’s route, are taken with the staff. A copy of this report is left at the daycare. Staff reviews the safety routines with the children before they leave the daycare. Lower child/adult ratios are used whenever possible. Staff members take frequent counts of each group.
Family members may also volunteer to assist in field trips. A signup sheet for parents to assist is posted just outside the door of your child’s room a few days before a trip.
