How can I be involved? 

At Adventures Preschool, there are a number of ways to be involved in your child’s education.  Parents are required to help in the classroom each semester (the number of “work days” depends upon the number of children enrolled) and serve on a committee or on the Board of Directors. 

Board of Directors.  Families who are interested in the highest level of participation and who are able to commit the most time may serve on the Board.  The Board is composed of parents (officers and committee chairs) and teachers.  New Board members must be approved by a vote of the Board.  The Board meets monthly and is responsible for the operation of the preschool:  setting and managing the budget; auditing expenses and revenue; setting tuition and fees; discussing parent concerns; hiring teachers; and making decisions about marketing/advertising, upkeep of premises, lease negotiation, purchasing, and fundraising. 

Committees.  Parents may choose the committee that best suits their interests.  For example, a parent may help by writing the monthly newsletter, serving on a fundraising committee, sewing a new cape for the dramatic play area, repairing a toy, or planning the refreshments for an open house.  Parents receive additional information about committees at the beginning of the school year.
