Field Trip Policy. We, Little Flower Learning Center, believe that field trips are very important part of a child's learning experience. We encourage our Preschool teachers to plan and coordinate a filed trip at least a few times per year. A field trip form will be sent home for permission from the caretaker of the child. Included on these forms will be information about the place, date, time of departure and arrival, method of transportation, and items needed for trip. If a child does not bring a signed permission form back to the center to be kept on file the child will not be permitted to attend the field trip and the child will be placed in the classroom with the closest age group while the class is gone. Children on field trips will be required to wear name tags, carry water bottles, and have a signed medical consent form on file with the staff member on the trip. Those children under five years of age will be required to have a child safety seat provided by the caretaker.

Transportation Policy. In case of an emergency, if transportation is needed, the center will call an ambulance for transportation. The center will not transport child in an emergency. The center will transport children for field trips. Children attending these filed trips must have a signed permission slip by the caretaker on file before the trip. ANy child who doesn't have a signed permission slip will not be allowed to attend the field trip. When the center needs transportation for a field trip, vans will be used. All drivers will be staff members with a driver license on file at the center. For those children, who are attending elementary school, transportation to and from the school will be provided by a center staff member. When children are loading into each van for a field trip,t hey will be listed with the staff member and counter. When each child exits the vans hey will be counted again. As they reach their designation the child will be grouped according to their lists with the staff members and counted periodically while on this trip. The children will be counted in the van before leaving to go back to the center and then counted again upon leaving the van and going back into the center. One last count will be done once all the children are back in the classroom and all children checked off field trip lists.
