Parental Involvement
Taking part in a cooperative preschool allows parents to be be directly involved in their child’s education and preschool experience. One parent will be required to co-op in the classroom several times a month. Frequency of co-op depends on class meeting schedule. As a co-op parent you will aid the teacher in the classroom or on trails facilitating activities, leading art projects and engaging all the kids in your child’s class.
In addition to co-oping, parents will also need to complete the requirements below after admission to the program.

Committee & Cleanup
All families must serve on a committee. One parent is required to participate per family. Our committees include: Board of Directors, Clean-Up, Events, Marketing, Scheduler, and Yearbook
One parent must also participate in a clean-up. If your child is enrolled in an on-site class your cleanup is at the school. If your child is a Wasatch Wanderer your cleanup is on trails.
Members, take our survey below for more detailed information and to register to join a committee and to schedule your clean-up.
