The CO-OP Approach
The co-op approach is the most wonderful opportunity to have a hands-on, involved role in your child’s first school experience
In the classroom
-
Duty parents get to spend one or two days a month in the classroom assisting the ECE in the classroom.
-
You get to be with your child in their class as they are learning to adjust to a new environment. You can see how they play, what they enjoy doing and how they are learning to interact with others.
Parental Roles
-
The parents own and run the school, so you can have a say in the operation of the school.
-
Families work together closely, so you really get to know the children and families that attend the school.
-
We fundraise a certain amount of money each year to meet the annual financial needs of the school. We try to make the fundraising varied and fun.
Education
-
Every duty parent must complete the initial orientation and the one and a half hour education requirement every month to meet the licensing criteria to be a duty parent.

Guest Speakers
*partial duty parent rolls are available where you are not required to participate for duty day and the education requirement
