When your child is enrolled in Die Kleine Kinderschule they will enjoy several special guests/outings throughout the school year. Whether going to an off-site location or having individuals and groups come into the classroom, children will interact with a wide range of engaging educational experiences. Do you know what is great? The cost for field trips and in class guests comes directly out of your monthly tuition, so there is no additional fees for your child to participate.

Parent Permission Required:

Parents will be informed about upcoming field trips by email in the teacher’s monthly newsletter. Signed permission forms are required for all off-site field trips and must be printed, signed and returned to our teachers by the deadline stated on the form. Parents are responsible to provide transportation for their child to and from all field trips. Teachers are required by licensing to take a portable record of each child to off-site activities in the case of an emergency.

Our teachers also plan excursions to different places on school property (e.g. gym, library, school yard) as well as walks through the neighborhood, which are routine and do not require separate permission forms, because they are included in your child’s registration form.

Parent Volunteers:

On the consent form we will also ask for parent volunteers to assist during any off-site outings. This is to ensure a supervision ratio of 1 adult for every 3 children. Anyone wishing to volunteer must have a clear police check (including vulnerable sector check). To obtain a police check, please contact your location’s Registrar. Note that police checks can take time to process, so please do this early to ensure you can participate.
