Parent Responsibilities

Class Attendance

A positive experience for parents and their children at Little Hands depends upon parent participation. Regular attendance at day classes ensures the successful operation and growth of Little Hands.

Parent Education

Little Hands is committed to providing education to parents, and evening classes are a required part of our curriculum. Classes are fun and interactive and are designed based on parent feedback and input. We work together to find speakers and select topics that address the needs of Little Hands families. Each semester parents attend one evening class and one All School meeting.

Job Descriptions and Job Preference Form

Little Hands is a volunteer-driven organization, and each Little Hands family is responsible for a job that takes approximately 15-20 hours over the course of the school year, as well as one day of school maintenance. Job participation is very important to the school and families must complete their jobs in order for their Co-op Deposit to be reimbursed. Little Hands thrives on the effort & dedication of our parents. Their hard work truly makes a difference at our school!

Please know that we make every effort to assign jobs that fit each parent’s time, talents and preferences. Thank you in advance for your flexibility and commitment.
