At West Linn Community Preschool, families participate in their child's transition to classroom learning. Parents run school operations and take turns helping in the classroom. We are honored to have you in class, and your children will love it, too! There are many ways to be involved in our school, and responsibilities vary across positions.
We strive to find a school job that fits each family's volunteering capabilities. Additionally, Teacher Cathy loves to incorporate activities into the classroom that highlight the skills, interests, and knowledge our parents bring to school each year. West Linn Community Preschool is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization and a proud member of the Parent Child Preschools Organization (PCPO).

Our Cooperative Preschool Experience
Report
Parents work with class representatives to schedule parent help days in the classroom approximately two days per month. These are the days you participate in your child's learning and exploration in the classroom.
Some examples of parent responsibilities during parent help shifts include snack preparation, set up of outdoor play areas, set up and monitoring of structured art activities, reading and playing with children, conflict management and communication building with children, monitoring and participating in outdoor play and large motor skill activities, clean up, and participation in circle time at the end of the day.
