What is a Parent Participation Preschool?

Laurelwood Preschool strives to foster independence in the students, while giving parents an opportunity to engage and participate in their children’s education.

Being a parent participation preschool, parents work in their child’s classroom on a rotating basis, alongside the teacher, creating a warm, cohesive home to school transition.

Parents and teachers serve together on the Preschool Board to ensure the preschool runs smoothly.  Parents are responsible for many of the administrative duties of running the preschool.

Laurelwood Preschool functions smoothly because we are a thoughtful, attentive community.  Parents help one another by switching workdays, lending a helping hand when needed and by being considerate of others.  Families who enroll at Laurelwood Preschool do so because they greatly enjoy the friendships created for students and parents alike in our collaborative, dynamic preschool community.
