Parent Participation
Parents enrich the program by contributing their time, commitment, talent, and skills to the school. Parent-teachers provide an unparalleled teacher-to-student ratio, which provides children a level of individualized, thoughtful attention that cannot be found elsewhere.
Parents contribute in many ways:
Parent-Teacher Workdays – One morning per week, parent-teachers work with full-time teachers to direct lesson plans and lead group activities under the guidance of our Director.
Committee Positions – Parents contribute their skills by holding a committee position dedicated to a certain topic, such as fundraising, finance, and operations.
Monthly Meetings – Mandatory monthly meetings convene on the 1st Tuesday of every month to discuss the school and plan the upcoming month. Parent education nights are scheduled throughout the year.
Maintenance & Fundraising – Parents participate in all the little things that make a community school possible, such as occasional weekend cleanings, fundraising events, and miscellaneous jobs. Engaging families in maintaining and enhancing the school aids in keeping tuition affordable, fosters a sense of co-op pride, and cultivates community bonds
Parent Education
At TCCP, we are founded on the principle that parent education is key to supporting families. Our school community collaboratively suggests ideas for speakers and workshops that parents find engaging and relevant each year. These workshops are offered throughout the year, covering a variety of topics. Every family is required to attend three seminars annually. Our annual parenting class series begins with our October teacher-led workshop, setting the stage for a year of insightful learning and growth within our community.
