What is Fun Friday?
Fun Friday is a unique and exciting part of our preschool program dedicated to fostering curiosity, creativity, and hands-on learning. On Fun Fridays, children have the opportunity to step away from their usual routine and dive into a variety of engaging activities that stimulate their interests and broaden their horizons.

At Zenkids, we believe in the power of hands-on learning to spark curiosity and deepen understanding of the natural world. Our thoughtfully planned field trips for Pre-KG students offer immersive experiences that enhance our curriculum and make learning come alive. These educational excursions are designed to explore the growth and parts of plants, animals, and humans, as well as the various minerals found in nature.
Experiential Learning Through Exploration
- Visits to Nearby Farms: Our farm visits provide children with a firsthand look at the growth of plants and animals. They observe different stages of plant growth, from seeds to mature plants, and learn about the roles of roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits. Children also have the opportunity to see farm animals, understand their life cycles, and learn about their body parts and care.
- Adventures in Parks: Exploring local parks allows children to engage with nature in a hands-on way. They learn about different types of plants and trees, observe insects and small animals, and enjoy the natural beauty of their surroundings. These outings help children develop an appreciation for the environment and understand the importance of plant and animal life.
- Excursions to Zoos: A visit to the zoo offers an exciting opportunity for children to learn about a wide variety of animals. They can observe animals in habitats that mimic their natural environments, learn about animal behaviors, and discover the diversity of animal life on our planet. Zoos also provide educational programs that enhance children's understanding of conservation and animal care.
- Discovering Aquatic Life at Aquariums: Aquarium visits introduce children to the fascinating world of aquatic animals and marine ecosystems. They learn about different species of fish, marine mammals, and invertebrates, as well as the importance of water habitats. Aquariums often feature interactive exhibits that allow children to touch and learn about marine life in an engaging way.
- Educational Tours of Museums: Museum visits expose children to a wide range of educational exhibits, from natural history and science to art and culture. Children can explore displays on the growth and parts of plants, animals, and humans, as well as exhibits on various minerals and their uses. Museums provide interactive and hands-on experiences that make learning both fun and informative.
Through these carefully planned field trips, Zenkids aims to provide Pre-KG students with rich, experiential learning opportunities that enhance their understanding of the natural world. These outings are designed to foster a sense of wonder, encourage curiosity, and instill a love for learning that will last a lifetime.
