Enrollment

For the 2023-24 school year, CCP offers classes for 3-year old and 4-year old students. Teachers Jen and Rosalie will each teach a 3's and a 4's class. Classes run from 9:00 am to 11:45 am, on either Tues-Thurs for 3's, or Mon-Wed-Fri for 4's students. Students must be either 3 or 4 by September 1st to be eligible for the class.  

A Registration Fee of $80 is non-refundable. This is invoiced and paid after your registration is processed by our Registrar. The Fee must be paid promptly to confirm enrollment. Class assignments will be distributed in the summer. 

Parent Responsibilities:
Parents have responsibilities of membership at our co-op school. Parents must be willing to help in the classroom, support fundraising activities, complete volunteer duties, and have a fun and positive attitude. 

 

• Parent Job: Each family will be assigned a parent job for the school year. These are requested at or before Orientation. Jobs include fulfilling roles on the Executive Board or Parent Advisory Committee, along with supporting the weekly / monthly happenings or needs of the school. At our co-op, we all work together to keep our school running. 

• Parent Help Days: Each family is responsible for fulfilling their required parent help days based on their tuition level. Plan A families assist about 2 times per month. Plan B families assist about once per month. Plan B monthly tuition is higher to compensate for a paid parent teacher, to help us ensure each school day is covered. Our school prioritizes Plan A families for enrollment. 

• Auction: CCP holds an annual auction that provides at least 40% of our operating budget. The auction helps us keep tuition affordable. Parents are expected to contribute to the auction by procuring donations, selling raffle tickets, and completing an auction job. 

• Mandatory Meetings: Parents are expected to attend three mandatory parent meetings, Orientation (September), Auction (October), and Meeting of the Members (April). These are also offered with an online (Zoom) component. Parents are encouraged, but not required, to attend monthly General school meetings (online) on the second Wednesday of each month, September through May, at 7pm.

What is the Role of Parent Teachers? 
At our co-op preschool, parents are expected to participate in the classroom. Two parent teachers in each class arrive at 8:30 am and will stay until all children are picked up, usually by 11:50 am. Parent teachers assist the lead teacher during arrivals, circle time, free play, snack time, and on the playground. Parent teachers also clean the classroom towards the end of the school day. 

Having parent participation is a big part of the community aspect of our parent-child co-op. Your assistance allows our teachers to expand the curriculum and activities for the children during class and helps ensure the safety of our students. Close family members can also volunteer in the school, provided they pass a background check and are vaccinated for COVID-19.
