College students with special interests and talents sometimes entertain the children with music, magic, science experiments, creative dance, etc. We take several field trips throughout the year to places such as the fire station, hospital, grocery store, farms, library, manufacturing companies, post office, buildings and exhibits on the college campus, and other places of interest.
