Savvy Source's Comments

"At CPPP, we own the building our preschool is in and the preschool is run entirely by our parents. Parent volunteers work on everything from gardening to this website. Below is an overview of the things we ask of our parents. Working in the Classroom The 2's class meets Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9AM to 11AM and parents attend with their child(ren). The 3's class meets Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings from 9AM to 11:30AM. Parents are required to work in the classroom once a week. The 4's class meets Monday through Thursday afternoons, 12:30PM to 3:00PM. Parents are required to work in the classroom once a week. Parent Education Meetings: Parents attend a mandatory monthly evening meeting. Fundraising: Parents must participate in two fundraising events per year. Enrollment in the CPPP e-scrip program and school-pop is also required. Work Party: Work parties are usually held on a weekend for 4 hours. This is where a number of maintenance jobs, such as painting, putting up a new play structure, etc are done. Parents are also able to do individual projects rather than participate in a work party if they wish. We ask that parents participate in 1 work party (or equivalent) equaling a total of 4 hours per year. Support Job: Parents are required to sign up for one position such as school librarian, emergency supplies coordinator, etc." Extracted from www.cppp.com

Parents' Comments

Parent #1
We had outside sources come in and put on plays, do tumbling. The curriculum was not heavy in academics. However, this changes a little in the 4's class - depending on who is teaching.
