Among the many benefits of membership in PCPI is the opportunity to apply for the Katharine Whiteside Taylor (KWT) Grant. The grant offers annual funds to one or more Canadian parent cooperative preschools, or Councils, to help fund a parent education project or other activity that helps members improve in their role as parents.
Over the years cooperative preschools and their communities have offered a wide range of parent education programs and the KWT Grant will support that vital
member benefit. Parent education topics from the categories of Child Development, Behavioral Guidance, Nutrition, and Health and Safety will be considered for the grant. Speakers, such as authors, therapists, psychologists, staff, topic specialists, are invited to provide these programs.
Your school could be the next recipient of funds to support a parent education program that is just right for your community. Additional consideration given to those that can include a community outreach component, however it is not a requirement.
The total grant amount is up to $500 to fund one or more programs. All Canadian parent cooperative (participation) preschools and councils, are eligible to apply for the grant. Note: for non-members, the PCPI membership fee is subtracted from all grants awarded. For information about PCPI membership, visit
