Tauxemont Cooperative Preschool

Understanding our Co-op Approach

A meaningful part of Tauxemont’s 83-year history is the active involvement of our families. As a cooperative school, opportunities to participate in the classroom and contribute to the life of the school are thoughtfully woven into our program. Because we are a cooperative, parent participation isn’t just encouraged. It's what makes our school possible.

Parent Helping

Saturday Morning Work Sessions

Saturday Morning Work Sessions

Parents or other family members help in their child's classroom on a rotating basis.  Training and support are provided.

Work sessions are scheduled monthly during the school year.  During these sessions, the school's physical plant is maintained.  Typically a family works at two sessions a year.

Fundraising

Fundraising

Fundraising

During the course of the year, the school offers several fun and creative opportunities to enhance the school's funds.  Our Silent Auction is our major fundraising event.  Every family has opportunities to make these events a success.

School Jobs

Fundraising

Fundraising

Every family has an opportunity to have a School Job. These jobs are as a member of a committee that supports the school.  There are fundraising committees, committees that enhance and support the physical plant and classrooms and committees that build community.

We recognize that every family’s schedule and capacity look different. While participation is a meaningful part of the Tauxemont experience, families may choose to opt out of certain involvement opportunities. These opportunities remain open to all, and an opt-out fee applies.
