Tips for a Safe & Enjoyable Tour!
• Supervison is required at the ratio of one adult for every five (5)
children. Classroom teachers and Nursery School/Day Care directors
should be free of supervisory duties in order to provide overall
assistance to their groups of children.
• Parent volunteers play an important role not only in supervision but
also by helping stimulate the children’s minds during their farm visit;
therefore we ask that parents not bring additional siblings on the
educational Farm Tour.
• Dress appropriately for the cooler outdoor Fall weather. Activities
are outdoors, RAIN or SHINE!
• RESERVE EARLY! Book now for the best selection of dates.
Consider an early October visit and avoid our busier month-end.
Arrange your required transportation needs early for your visit.
