At Rothewood Academy, we believe learning happens everywhere – not just within classroom walls. That’s why field trips are essential to our daycare and preschool curriculum. These carefully planned outings extend our students’ horizons, allowing them to explore, learn, and grow in real-world settings.
Learning Beyond the Classroom
Every field trip at Rothewood Academy is an opportunity for your child to connect what they learn in the classroom to the world around them. By visiting local museums, parks, farms, and science centers, children gain hands-on learning experiences and a better understanding of their community.
These adventures foster a practical understanding that enhances classroom knowledge. For example, a visit to the science museum can bring concepts like colours, textures, and shapes to life in a tangible way.
At Rothewood, these field trips are extensions of our curriculum, providing experiences that ignite curiosity and make learning joyful and memorable.
Social Skills and Teamwork in Action
Field trips are also a wonderful way for our students to develop essential social skills. These outings offer a chance to navigate new social situations and practice communication, cooperation, and teamwork in a different environment.
When children take turns at an exhibit or listen to a tour guide’s instructions, they learn how to interact respectfully with peers and adults outside their usual circles.
For our teachers, these trips are an invaluable tool to help children learn patience, empathy, and cooperation – all crucial qualities that we prioritize at Rothewood Academy.
Our trained and dedicated staff lead every field trip, making sure each child feels included and supported. Our expertise ensures these outings are safe and enriching, allowing every child to enjoy the full experience.
The Joy of Discovery
Our daycare and preschool curriculum integrate learning with play, and field trips amplify this. Field trips are more than educational – they’re a source of excitement, exploration, and joy. Seeing new places and experiencing new things spark a sense of wonder.
The team at Rothewood understands the importance of creating positive learning experiences, and each trip is planned with that in mind. We select destinations that inspire excitement and fascination so every outing becomes a memory your child will treasure.
Safety and Comfort: Our Top Priority
Safety and comfort are paramount when children leave the school’s grounds.
Our teachers closely supervise children at all times and maintain excellent safety standards. We plan each trip meticulously, ensuring a smooth, safe, and enjoyable experience for every child.
Inspiring Lifelong Curiosity
One of our core values is to nurture lifelong learning. Field trips play a vital role in this mission and encourage children to explore, question, and think critically about the world around them. These experiences lay the foundation for new curiosity and problem-solving skills, essential skills as children grow and begin to make sense of the world around them.
Every outing at all our Rothewood Early Learning Centres is a step towards becoming a confident and inquisitive learner.
