Co-op Expectations

Your active participation at Dentonia will include a certain number of duty days each month during which parents participate alongside our staff. Duty days are a fundamental part of the co-op experience, allowing us to deliver an excellent child-adult ratio for maximum enrichment of the children, while meeting government guidelines and keeping enrolment fees as low as possible.

Other responsibilities for co-op parents include committee participation, attending General Meetings, two weekend clean ups per school year, and active participation in fundraising for the school.

Duty days are what makes being part of the co-operative experience so much fun. Parents have the opportunity to meet other parents while interacting with their child and his/her friends. Younger siblings are welcomed during your duty days.

Through your family's commitment of time, skills and energy to Dentonia, parents and children reap rewards through the quality of program, friendships with other families and contributing to the school and community.

Co-op
Philosophy

In joining a co-operative preschool, you make a special commitment to your child by becoming an active participant in his or her early education. We hope that after this positive beginning, parents will be inspired to remain continually involved in their child's future education.
