Co-op Life

As a co-op preschool, parents are involved and volunteer their time which creates a wonderful sense of community for the children, parents, and teachers. We all work together to create a warm, supportive, and thriving environment for our children to learn, play, and grow.

Below are some of the responsibilities when you join Little Village Nursery School.

Work Day Parent

  • Volunteer in the school once a month from 9:00am – 11:00am.

  • Tasks may consist of washing dishes, sweeping, doing laundry, cleaning up messy projects, reading a story, etc.

  • The best part of your work day will be joining your child and their classroom for snack time. Children and parents look forward to this every month.

  • Families without the professional flexibility to attend during school hours can make up this volunteer requirement virtually and/or in off-hours.

School Improvement

  • Participate in 1 weekend school improvement session (3 hours each) to help maintain the school through cleaning and minor repairs.

Parent Jobs & Board Positions

  • The Board consists of parent volunteers and is a great way to use your particular talents to help in an area of need. The Board has a President, VP, Treasurer, Secretary, Fundraising Chair, Facilities Chair, Registrar.

  • Other available jobs are Workday Coordinator, Fundraising Team Members, Room Parents, Videographer, Tour Guide and so much more.

Fundraising Participation

We have several small fundraisers throughout the year and one large Fundraising Auction Party. This is a great way to raise money for improvements around the school and it also brings our community together.
