Field Trips Help Children Learn Through Experiences

​

Young children learn from their experiences.

They use their senses to gather information about the world around them.

That’s why field trips play an important role in the curriculum for young children involved in day care or school.

 

​"It is important for educators to use field trips as a vehicle for sensory experiences such as smelling the air or listening to the sounds of the traffic," 

"It’s also important for educators s to point out details and help children talk about things they have seen before.

 

"Field trips also are an excellent way to foster higher level thinking by having children focus on how and why things happen."
