Parents provide snack and work in the classroom approximately once every two weeks as the teachers' aide. This gives parents the opportunity to learn

setting. |

Parents also participate on a committee to help with the workings of the preschool and work one
Saturday, parent work day a year. |

All persons who work in the classroom (including parents) are required by licensing to have a current TB-test. |
