Parents make it work!
Redmond Parent Cooperative Preschool is a
cooperative parent education program affiliated with the Lake
Washington Technical College. Our goal is to supply you with
relevant and useful parenting information, while at the same time
providing a nurturing environment for your child to grow and
learn.
 |
One parent per family is required to work one
(1) day each week during the
child's class time in one of seven rooms: Block, Woodworking,
Dramatic Play, Story/Science, Art, Kitchen and Sand.
Room assignments are posted on the class bulletin board and
rotate every 2 weeks. Duties are posted in each room.
Story room parent can bring a book or 2 from home, use
preschool books, play a game, conduct a science experiment,
etc. Kitchen parent brings a snack for the
children to prepare and one for the parents to share.
 |
One parent must attend the monthly parent
education meeting. (Both parents are encouraged to
attend.)
 |
Co-op members must participate in the
official, annual all-school fundraiser (currently this is an
auction). The preschool is a nonprofit
organization and holds one or more
fundraisers each year. Proceeds raised cover toy
replacement, new toy purchases, site improvements, and other
miscellaneous expenditures.
 |
Each member must serve on one committee.
Average time spent on committee work is 2-4 hours each month.
 |
Each member completes one Saturday cleaning
with another member, which takes approximately 2-3 hours, and
one bi-yearly clean-up with their whole class. |
