Parent Participation

A Parent Participation Preschool is a non-profit society that is founded and maintained by parents. It provides the opportunity for parents, children, and teachers to contribute to and participate in a creative learning and growth oriented environment.

A parent participates in:

  • Ten hours of orientation
  • A monthly General Meeting consisting of presentations by professionals in the fields of early childhood, workshops on child development, and brief updates on administrative matters. The General Meeting is held on the first Tuesday of the month at 7:00 pm.
  • ‘Duty Days’ assisting Teacher Liz with the daily program. Parents participate in ‘Duty Days’ approximately once every 3-4 weeks.
  • Managing a task to help with the operation of the school.
  • Fundraising efforts

Testimonials

“We’ve been at Little People’s Preschool for four years and have enjoyed every minute! The teachers bring all their creative energy to the classroom, allowing the children to grow and learn through playing and interacting with the other children. And being a parent participant school, we’ve met so many wonderful families. It’s been an amazing experience for everyone.” The Wood Family

“The teachers and facilities available at Little People Preschool are just what I was looking for in a preschool for my nearly 4yr old.  I would recommend LPP to all my friends and family. Teacher Alexandra is very flexible and attuned to the children’s needs and interests and also very energetic and enthusiastic.  Our daughter only attends 2 days a week, but when its time to come home she begs to know when she can go again,she enjoys it so much!  I also love the parent participation aspect so you really get to know the other kids and their parents, as well as a feel for what a typical day is like. There is a great sense of community there. One of the reason’s I chose LPP is b/c of the flexibility of the teachers and other parents to work with my own schedule and situation, as I’m expecting in less than 10 weeks. Plus, you won’t find a better tuition anywhere else in Vancouver,especially for the experience your child is going to get!” - Lindsay W
