Parents
Phoebe Hearst Preschool thrives because of our very active and involved parent body. Parents are an integral part of the community at the Phoebe Hearst Preschool. Each parent at Phoebe Hearst belongs to the Parent Committee. The Parent Committee has two co-chairs and meets once a month to discuss committee projects and business. The Parent Committee raises funds to enrich the school’s curriculum and environment and to provide financial aid to families in need.
There are many opportunities for parents to meet and socialize at the school. Parents meet for coffee in the lobby once a week and we have several potluck parties a year for our families to enjoy.
Volunteer
Phoebe A. Hearst preschool encourages parent involvement in many ways. Each family, when signing their contract, agrees to volunteer 10 hours each year to the school.
Some examples of parent involvement with the school include:
- Parent Committee work
- Fundraising and event participation
- In-kind donations of time and expertise for school needs (graphic designing, printing, data input)
- Building project expertise (architecture, painting, engineering, electrical work)
- Classroom assistance with cooking, writing, and art projects
- Room parenting
- Sharing skills or knowledge in the classroom (photography, videography, journalism)
- Organizing and maintaining the library
