Why Kids’ Field Trips Change Learning Forever
Today's world doesn't allow learning to come solely from a book or classroom. Children learn best when they can take education beyond a textbook or classroom, into their hands, into their experiences, and their lives. The significance of field visits for youth is that it is unforgettable. Educational field visits are not a day off from sitting in a classroom to do something fun, but they are an opportunity to collectively experience an educational moment that will stick with students forever. Play 'N' Learn provides a lively, fun, and active environment where there is so much multi-sensory education happening, making it the perfect educational field visit.

-
Experiences that are developmentally appropriate for the Age
-
Explicit learning outcomes—including tying the experience to the School curriculum outcomes

Interactive and hands-on experiences that stimulate curiosity and involvement!
-
Safety and hygiene standards that are provided for the peace of mind of your Parents and educators
