In our cooperative preschool, parents of children attending our morning classes are assigned to help in our classrooms on a rotating basis. This involvement helps to keep our curriculum fresh and our tuition affordable. *Caregiver assisting is required.

benefits of assisting

FUMCN is grateful for parent involvement.  Assisting is a great way to:

. . . be part of your child’s first formal learning experience

. . . see your child interact with peers and other adults

. . . generate new ideas about educational activities to do at home

. . . keep preschool costs affordable

. . . meet other families with 3/4/5 year olds from the Ann Arbor area

assist routines

One parent, guardian, or other caregiver from each family can expect to assist two-four times per month, on average. Assist caregivers and teachers will touch base at the start of each class to discuss the day’s play-based activities and answer any questions.

assist scheduling

Assist schedule assignments are set once every couple months. You will be asked for your availability before the master schedule is generated. You may state when you can and cannot assist, and then the scheduler will do their best to accommodate you. 

additional responsibilities

A member of each family will select preferences for and be assigned to a TEAM. Time commitment and availability, skill sets, experience, and interests are all factors we consider when assigning TEAM responsibilities.

Please contact

if you have any concerns or questions about the assist process or parent commitment.
