Green Circle is a high quality, non-profit preschool run on a relatively low budget enabled by its co-operative structure. Families are encouraged to participate in their child’s early leaning, and required to participate in at least one of several assigned jobs throughout the year.
Assigned Jobs: Each family will be assigned at least one job that they will be responsible for throughout the year. See Assigned Jobs section below for more information.
Mandatory attendance at meetings: There will be an orientation meeting early in September, two general meetings (November & January) and one annual general meeting in April. The purpose of these meetings is to pass on information and discuss business relating to the preschool. Families are expected to send one representative to each meeting.
Fundraising: Although most of our budgeted income results from monthly fees, fundraising is an important activity to maintain the high quality of classroom activities and reduce the cost of monthly fees. Green Circle is pleased to offer our fundraising bond as an option for families who do not wish to fundraise or who do not fundraise enough to meet our preschool budget. Families pay a refundable $120 at the time of registration, which will be refunded by the treasurer near the end of the school year if the family meets or exceeds its fundraising goal (set by the executive in September).
Snack: Each child should bring a labelled individual snack and water bottle from home. Nuts are prohibited due to children with allergies.
Drop-off and Pick-up: You must be punctual in dropping your child off at 9:00AM, and picking your child up at the end of class at 11:30AM. If our teacher does not know the person picking up the child, ID will be required.
Please do not enroll your child if you are not able to fulfill these commitments.
Completing these duties is the responsibility of the parent(s), however we will happily accommodate grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends as designates. Please inform your replacement about the details of your duties. Please feel free to address any concerns with the Executive Board and teacher in person or via email at executive@greencirclepreschool.com and teacher@greencirclepreschool.com.
*NOTE* Green Circle Preschool follows all current COVID-19 Provincial Guidelines, in addition to the Policies from the Edmonton Public School Board. The above parental duties may be adjusted as necessary to adhere to public health guidelines and policies.
