Tips to rememberPreschoolers – age 3-5

School-age children – age 6-12

Are curious, love new experiences and can’t wait to explore.

But because of their restless energy, you’ll need to make frequent stretch and exercise stops.

They get bored easily, so have a variety of activities they can participate in.

See the world as new and exciting, full of things to do and discover.

Travel can be an exciting educational experience.

They have more stamina and can tolerate more physical driving.

National parks, museums, factory tours, camping and amusement parks!!!
