Field Trip to the Children's Farm
The children in the Early Learning classes visit The Farm in Palos in May. This is a hands-on farm experience that enriches the curriculum dealing with the spring season, animals, seeds, and plants.

| Class Field Trips
Class Field Trips are planned and arranged by the individual teachers throughout the year. They provide an opportunity for the children to further investigate a topic that they have been discussing in class. We have visited Pilcher Park, Tinley Park Library, Aurelios Pizza in Mokena, Alsip Nursery, Freedom Hall Theater, and Orland Park Fire Department.
In-house field trips include Crosstown Exotics and Frankfort Police Department Stranger Danger presentation.
