What are my responsibilities as a parent? What if I work full-time? Is it a lot of work? What if I can’t commit to being in the classroom?

Families who come to RHCNS love the flexibility and cooperation found here! Parents help in the classroom approximately four to five times a year. Schedules accomodate parents’ needs. We offer an “opt-out” option for an addtional fee, but your child still gets to have his or her own special days!

We parents pride ourselves on making Rocky Hill Co-op a wonderful, warm and loving pre-school for our children. The operations of the school are separated into committees, to which each family is assigned. Examples of some of the committees families can choose include Fund raising, Yearbook, Clean-up, and Newsletter. There are two mandatory meetings and two mandatory clean-up days per year.

The best part, most agree, is being a “helping-parent”. On these special days, we participate in the classroom as a teacher’s helper, getting to know our children’s classmates and teachers and seeing our children first-hand in the classroom setting. Our children are thrilled to be “helping child” that day. They are proud to bring their parent, the snack, and a show-and-tell to school!
