How much does the school cost? What days and at what time do classes meet?
See the Programs and Fees page for this information.
How often do I need to work in the classroom?
Approximately once a month, depending on how many children are enrolled in the class. The class representative for each class will coordinate sign-up arrangements for the daily volunteer schedule.
Are Fundraising and working in the classroom mandatory?
Yes. At least one parent or guardian must assist in our fundraising efforts, and volunteer in the classroom. As a co-op preschool, our program relies on our member families to engage in parent education, help us maintain our student/teacher classroom ratios, and ensure we meet our financial obligations.
When I volunteer in the classroom, may I bring my other children with me?
Unfortunately, you cannot bring children with you when you volunteer (other than the children you have enrolled in the class already). Doing so adversely impacts our insurance coverage, and affects the student/teacher ratio that we are required to maintain in our classrooms.
What fundraising does the school do, and what is my expected contribution?
Fundraisers are chosen by the fundraising committee each year. Each family is asked to participate and meet their fundraising requirement, and there are typically 3-4 fundraising campaigns each year.
What if I am interested in donating to the program?
Our co-op preschool operates as a non-profit and donations are tax-deductible. Checks should be made out to “Children’s Co-Op Preschool.” Donations can also be made online on our webpage.
How does communication happen between parents and CCP?
The teacher will write a monthly letter to parents in each class, describing that month’s themes and activities. Teachers welcome questions from parents, both in and out of the classroom.
Do the children go on field trips?
Yes, classes will take field trips, varying per class. Past field trips have included children’s museums, pumpkin patches, fire stations, and the Mt. Baker Theater.
Will I have to provide classroom supplies?
No. Your registration and supply fee covers classroom supplies for the year.
