  • No. Only licensed, trained teachers plan and teach all classes. Parent Helpers assist the teachers, are active participants in the class activities, and periodically perform other tasks and touch up cleaning (GPCP hires a professional cleaning service that thoroughly cleans and sanitizes weekly).

  • Yes. Your child’s class representative will work with you to develop a workable schedule. Parents often volunteer for extra helping days early in the year if they are expecting a new child or other major changes later in the year, serve only on a certain day of the week, or make other arrangements to satisfy necessary requirements. Parents often work together to exchange child care on their scheduled in-class days.

  • Yes. Parents, grandparents and other designated adult caregivers are eligible to carry out Parent Helper requirements. Your child’s class representative will work with you to find a workable arrangement.

  • A parent project is an extra-curricular job that each family takes on to help keep the Co-op running smoothly. Examples include organizing an event, cleaning toys, weeding or gardening the playground area, organizing t-shirt sales, participating as a board member and more. Some of the parent projects are simple, and some are more detailed. Your project(s) depends on what you prefer doing and what is available.

  • No. We are a private non-profit preschool open to everyone.

  • No. Although we rent space in the education building of a church, we are not affiliated with any religious group.

  • The 4/5s class is designed to meet the needs of both four- and five-year-olds (other schools sometimes call this a “pre-kindergarten” program). ​
