Parent Involvement
Cooperative Preschool = Parent Involvement
Parents are involved at Crystal Springs Co-op Preschool in several ways.
Participating Parent
A parent (or other guardians such as a nanny, grandparent, or aunt) stays at the preschool on the same day each week to help with activities, engage with children, and set up/clean up. The individual classes will set forth the Participating Parent expectations based on the size, needs, and health restrictions. The rotating schedule will get worked out before school starts with the help of the Class Coordinator. If you enroll after the start of the school year, the coordinator will reach out to you to add you to the schedule after enrollment is complete.
If there is a day that you cannot stay (sick, work conflict, travel, etc.) it is your responsibility to find someone to attend in your place. This could be another class parent, your child's other parent, or a grandparent (if you are unavailable but your child can still attend the class). As per our handbook, if it is another class parent, then you must work out if you will pay them $20 or switch days.
Parent Education
The Participating Parent is required to participate in parent education discussion group every other week. Parent Ed is held every other week during class time.
Parent Seminars
These informative nights are typically held on the 3rd Wednesday of each month at 7 PM (exact date/time may vary). Most months, the Parent Seminars include a class meeting, a full school meeting, and a speaker discussing a topic that will help add another tool to your parenting toolbox. These Parent Seminars are required to attend (Toddler Class parents are only required to attend 3 of the months) with one unexcused absence. We are anticipating these meetings will be held over Zoom.
Preschool Committee (Job)
Each family is required to choose or be assigned to a Preschool Committee (job) or serve on the CSPS Board. You should expect to spend an average of four hours per month depending on the committee. Some committees require less time and others require more. We ask that if you find your committee assignment to no longer be a good match for you or your family, you speak up and ask for help or guidance.
Sign-ups for the 2023-2024 school year happened on June 3rd. If you enroll after our sign-up event, the CSPS Vice Chair will contact you after enrollment is complete to find a Preschool Committee (job) that works for you.
View the 2023-2024 Preschool Committees Jobs (Note: The health and safety of each participant in the cooperative preschool are of utmost importance. Thus committee job responsibilities are subject to change based on Shoreline Community College, CDC, or state safety guidelines.)
As an alternative to serving on a committee, you can opt-out for an annual fee of $500 (CSPS is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization). The availability of this option may vary by number of families enrolled in the program.
Connection to Shoreline Community College
CSPS has sister co-op preschools
When you enroll at CSPS you also enroll as a student at Shoreline Community College (SCC). We are under SCC's Parenting Education Program with our sister co-ops in the area. As a SCC student, you will earn college credit for each class quarter you attend CSPS (some people use them towards a degree or on their resume, others do nothing with the credits). You can also take advantage of student discounts and other perks!
At time of enrollment, along with your $100 registration fee, you will need to pay one-quarter of SCC's tuition. CSPS will cover the remaining SCC quarters' tuition. SCC tuition amount is based on class enrolled: $44 = Toddler, 2Day, Multi-Age | $66 = 3Day, PreK (Note: both the registration fee & SCC tuition are non-refundable).
