As educators, we know that field trips motivate and educate our children. Here at DCLP, we believe in exploration. We strive for a variety of educational experiences to places such as museums, wild life preserves, historic sites, and parks. Field Trips are planned in advance and parents are encourages to participate as chaperones.
