Parents contribute time to the school in various ways depending on their interests and personal schedules. Being a part of the preschool can be a very rewarding experience for the whole family and allows parents to be a part of a key time in their children’s lives. Your involvement may also provide an opportunity to meet new people and make new friends.
In a co-operative environment, the Supervisor sets up the daily curriculum and is supported by assistant educators. Together they supervise the classroom, increasing safety and promoting the development of social skills. The classroom becomes a place with trusted adults in a supportive network. Parents, guardians and/or caregivers can volunteer in the classroom to add to their child's experience.
