Parent’s Role

In addition to paying tuition for classes, the following activities are required for each family whose child attends Triangle Cooperative Preschool.

Classroom Assist Days

Members assist the teacher in the classroom for their child’s entire school day, arriving 15 minutes early to help with set-up and staying approximately 30 minutes after school to help with clean-up.

Depending on enrollment days, per semester assist days are about:

2-day week – parent assist is about 7 days
3-day week – parent assist is about 13 days
4-day week – parent assist is about 16 days

Maintenance

Members assume responsibility for their share of school maintenance. This includes a maximum of three Friday or Sunday clean-up sessions per year for each family. In addition, participation is required at one major clean-up session per year.

School Job

Each family will have a job (for example: newsletter editor, playground maintenance, animal care, librarian, or field trip coordinator) that will contribute to the operation of the school. Every effort is made to match the requirements of a job with the interests and skills of the member.

Meetings

Members are required to attend all General Meetings. There are three per year, held online.

Fundraising

Members are responsible for a share of the school’s fundraising. Each family is required to raise a minimum amount during the school year by participating in fundraising events as determined by the Board and approved by the General Membership, with the option of buying out part or all of the requirement. The required minimum amount to be raised by each family is $200 by March 1 of the school year.

Parent Testimonial – Sarah Thompson

My son has absolutely blossomed at Triangle. My older child was in a day care center based preschool program, and I was very skeptical of the co-op model at first. I am still a little in awe of how quickly and fully we were embraced by the Triangle community. I am so appreciative of the opportunity to be so closely involved with my child's preschool education, and proud to be part of a team of such dedicated and supportive teachers and parents.

Parent Testimonial – Alondra D.

We transferred to Triangle after having a bad experience at another school! Ms. Susan is exceptional and my kid absolutely loves coming to school. She is a light that has turned our son's bad school experience into something he actually looks forward to. I can’t thank her enough for her compassion and love for teaching.
