Parent Participation Program
The main goals of this program are the inclusive connections for families and support for the mission of the center. The talent, time and treasures volunteered help create the best in quality care and education while striving for affordability. The classrooms will ask for assistance as needed for projects, field trip escorts, talent sharing, and minor repair of equipment.
Three parents regularly volunteer as parent representatives on the Center Advisory Board. The advisory board reviews policies, procedures, financial budgets and income/expenses ensuring the center success.
Donations
The center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit private school and it is eligible for donations through workplace charities (with matching funds), United Way giving and personal direct giving. This is currently the most popular choice in providing funds for the tuition assistance program.
Fundraisers
The center has participated in garage sales, pancake events, picture day, center cookbooks sales and silent auctions in past years.
The center started a SCRIP Card Program in December 2009 which provides gift cards (bought at discount) to parents through the administrative office.
New ideas are welcome anytime!
Personal donations have also been important in providing appropriate equipment for the classrooms.
