One of the decided benefits of a co-op preschool is the opportunity the parents have to be in the classroom with their children. You will soon discover that duty days are special for both you and your child. We know you will enjoy observing your child's interactions with his or her peers and other adults. In the classroom, parents, as partners with the ECE, provide opportunities for the children to explore and interact in their own time. Some duty days you will be helping the children resolve conflicts, while other days your main function may be to provide a cozy lap at circle time. Whatever the day, remember that your participation has enriched the experience of your child and others.

We are looking forward to sharing the year with you and your child. When you look back on the year gone by, whether its your 1st or 5th year, all the friends you and your child have made and the way we've all grown and what we've learned, I'm sure you will feel that it has been a year well spent. Welcome to Lakehill Preschool!
