QUESTIONS ABOUT
CO-OPING

Q: How often will I “co-op” in my child’s classroom?

A: Parent participation is approximately twice a month in the 2-1/2 year-old class and once a month in the 3's and 4's. The class mother in each class prepares the participation schedule, taking into account individual needs and requests. If you cannot come when scheduled, you must find another parent to switch days with you. When you get to the classroom on your participation day (15 minutes before class time), the teacher will explain the day's activities and your assignment for the day.

Q: Can I bring my younger child to class when I co-op?

A: Younger children are not permitted in the classroom. When it is your turn to participate, you will need to have made arrangements for your younger child. The school makes every effort to have a babysitter available on-site in the church nursery, which parents may use for a fee. Parents often make other arrangements with friends, family or their own sitter, or they may share sitting arrangements with another parent in the school.
