What about parent participation?
We invite parents and caregivers to volunteer inside and outside the classroom. Parents volunteer to read to children, lead an activity, or help outside the classroom in a variety of ways. There is a Parent Volunteer Coordinator, and each class has a Room Parent to help facilitate involvement within the parent community.

Spaces do occasionally become available. Families with applications on file will be notified of the available opening.
