Hello!
I have 10 kids currently, but have had 12. We walk to the park. Everybody picks a buddy to hold hands with and we discuss the rules before we go.
"Do we run to the park?"
"We use our walking feet!"
"Do you go by yourself?"
"We stay with our buddy!"
We run in the field by the park, but do not run to the park. This keeps us in a big buddy cluster. Sometimes, buddies will link up and there will be a line of 4-6 children.
We do not go on field trips. I don't transport the children at all by car.
I have an ECE degree and while this influenced 2 families to come here, it does not seem to matter much to the others.
