[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is a 2 year old going on a field trip while in daycare? It does not make any sense.  Parents put their kids in care so that they can work.  What would be the point of of taking off time from work to go on a trip?  2 year olds do not need field trips I  a daycare group.  [/quote]

Why are so many posters on here baffled about this?  Kids are in daycare to develop and to have fun.  Field Trips advance both goals.

Do you think/want your kids to just be warehoused all day?

I agree that there are other ways to get kids out and advance their development and get that some people can't get their heads around taking kids out of preschool and onto public transit which seems scary and foreign to some parents on here (trust me the kids are fine with it) but field trips are fun and preschool is a fun age.

My kids are years out of preschool now but DW and I both fondly recall these field trips.[/quote]

People are baffled because many on this site believe daycares are nothing more than sterile institutions where kids are, yes, warehoused while indifferent parents pursue their careers.  That daycares could have enriching, educational activities and that parents would be willing to take time away from work for a special activity are impossible to fathom.[/quote]
