RUTLAND PARENT PARTICIPATION PRESCHOOL
What is "Parent Participation"?
"Parent Participation Preschools are different than other preschools because our parents are directly involved. Parents have the opportunity to be with their child one or twice a month in the classroom, to have a say in the administration of their child’s school and to attend monthly evening meetings with free parenting education and school business discussions. Parent Participation Preschools are a great place for both children and parents to learn new skills, meet new friends and take the first steps together in a school setting."

Is It Hard?
This is our top question, the answer is NO!
Learning to interact, play and teach your child is easy in our program because we teach you both HOW to learn. With Teacher Kristel's 20 years of experience in early childhood education and inventive ideas on how to make learning fun, it doesn't even feel like work!
What Do I Need To Start?

Criminal Record Check (gov.bc.ca)
using the code: PR8ZNAUX3R
2. Provide a copy of your vaccination records

What If I Can't Participate?
No problem!!
​
Parent Participation is completely optional and doesn't impact your enrolment. It is simply a way we can keep costs lower while providing excellent education to all of our students. There will always be a parent in the room with Teacher Kristel, but if your schedule doesn't allow for it to be you, we have several community days / parent roles / other ways to get involved.
