Calendar and Field Trips

Throughout the year, we go on several field trips to help your child explore the world around him/her and to develop a sense of community. Fresh air, social play and interaction are coupled with a chance to explore new concepts hands-on, while classroom activities reinforce the field trip themes. Some past favourites have included the pumpkin patch, the sugar bush, Reptilia and the petting zoo. Parents/caregivers join us on these mini adventures.

Throughout the year, there are also activities for parents and as a school in Richmond Hill we participate in a small number of community events.
