That’s why we include them in specially designed activities that are both fun and suitable for their age.

Outdoor Learning Information

Welcome to our Outdoor Learning Program! Here’s what you need to know to ensure your child enjoys a safe and enriching experience:

Safety and Supervision

  • Lead Educators: Miss Maria is primarily responsible for guiding the children during outdoor activities. Miss Roxana will occasionally step in as her substitute.
  • Supporting Educator: Miss Joselin always accompanies the children on trips, ensuring continuous care and attention.
  • Safety Ratios: We maintain a strict ratio of 1 educator to 6 children for optimal safety and engagement.
  • Child Management Methods: For our youngest participants, we use safety harness backpacks, while older children are grouped with a safety rope. All children wear high-visibility safety vests to enhance their visibility.

Outdoor Schedule

  • Car Excursions: Depending on our curriculum, we schedule 2 to 3 car outings per week. Specific days and destinations will be communicated through our parent app every Sunday.
