Co-Op Responsibilities & Deposit

Little Hands is a volunteer-driven organization and your active participation ensures the smooth operation of the school, the overall success of the program, and a positive experience for your family.

Each family is responsible for helping maintain the school and is assigned a job that takes approximately 15-20 hours over the course of the school year* as well as one, three-hour maintenance/class clean-up per year. A $300 Co-op Deposit is required at the beginning of the year and is reimbursed to those in good standing once the family has worked a Maintenance Day and completed the required job hours. If a class is dropped, the Co-op Deposit will be refunded per the Class Refund Policy outlined on this page.

*If you are enrolled in the January (Winter) Session you can expect your job to take approximately 8-10 hours.
