Field Trip Club – Childcare on the Go!

Disclosure: My son attends Field Trip Club, but I am in no way receiving monetary or other forms of payment for this post. It’s just too amazing not to share!

Remember your grade school years? Some of us have to remember farther back than others. What were the best days of the school year? Field trip days, right? A field trip meant a break away from the desk, a chance to dive into adventure.

Based in Olathe and serving kids all over Johnson County, this licensed program is packed with fun. An average summer day includes three field trips to destinations all across the metro area. Kids stay busy and engaged with activities that range from going to the movies to bowling to museums to farmer’s markets to parks to the zoo … and a wide variety of other fun places.

The couple that have run the program for the last ten years are simply amazing! A program like this could easily result in chaos from kids bouncing off the walls, causing a scene at each location; but with great guidance and high expectations, this group is known for their good behavior. The adult-to-child ratio can’t be beat, and you can have 100% confidence in this staff.

Simply put – Field Trip Club is the summer experience that we all wish we would have had. As a working mom, I’m happy that he’s not confined day after day, wasting away the summer days indoors. I’m excited for him to get to go, experience, learn, and play with good friends and caring adults.

Summer will be here faster than we know it (eek!), so I recommend that you check into this great program now. Visit their website: fieldtripclubolathe.com. Check them out on Facebook. Email them at [email protected]. Call them at 913.221.BEST.

Let’s face it – summer is a terrible thing to waste.

Janelle never imagined herself to be a mom, but found herself being just that when their (at the time, 10-year-old) son, Isaac, moved into their home and hearts in May, 2012. She and her husband were thrilled to adopt him just seven months later, and she loves connecting with other parents trying to navigate the foster-to-adoption process. She enjoys working in Human Resources at her church and has a part-time gig at a bank in Lawrence as the best (and only) shoe shiner in town! She’s passionate about Jesus, board games, traveling the world, and KU basketball - to varying degrees - and if she were ever to go to a party where colors were invited, Janelle would want to talk to orange the most.
