| Abstract: | A field trip for preschool children can be a rewarding experience, but if not properly planned and executed it can be a legal nightmare for teachers and owners. This article will take teachers through a hypothetical outing. If one spots mistakes before the authors highlight them, great, and if not, one will learn some fine points during this little excursion. This article could not possibly address all of the "dos" and "don'ts" associated with planning and executing a field trip, but it highlights some common mistakes one could avoid with best practices. |
