A Parent Participation Preschool is a community unto itself. As your child's first "school" experience, it brings together a group of parents, children and educators to create a top-notch learning environment for all those involved. Your child will make his/her first buddies -- cared and supported not only by teachers but also by the other parents on their duty days. Parents will learn valuable child-rearing skills and make friends within a network of involved and committed parents. This sense of community is fostered and strengthened through a strong commitment to family involvement within the school. Family involvement ranges from orientation, monthly meetings and parent education sessions to cleaning days, fundraising and community activities. While there is little doubt there is a definite time commitment involved in belonging to a PPP, the rewards both within and beyond the classroom are immediate and long-lasting for children and their parents.
