	Parent Involvement
	Families who become members of Lansdowne Preschool can expect the following commitments: 1. Monthly Meeting - one general meeting a month (business and parent education components) scheduled for the second Tuesday of every month at 7:30 pm at St. Alban's Church Hall. 2. Duty Days - approximately one every three to four weeks. 3. Orientation - in order to assist the ECE in the classroom, one parent or caregiver from each family is required to complete ten hours of orientation to familiarize themselves with the preschool's educational philosophy and program as well as to outline their special role in a cooperative preschool. Orientation normally consists of one class observation, two General Meetings, a Philosophy workshop and an Orientation workshop. 4. Jobs - ranging from an executive position to cleaning, laundry, equipment maintenance, etc. 5. Cleanups - in addition to the weekly cleaning of the preschool which is done by the cleaning committee, there are three "big cleanups" per year. Each class is responsible for one of them, and a member from each family is expected to assist. 6. Fundraising - as a cooperative we work together to raise funds enabling us to keep our monthly fees at a level that people of varying incomes can meet. Fundraising usually involves between one and three events per year. The nature of these is decided upon by vote during the June General Meeting. As a coop member, you are expected to participate in the fundraising activities, which can range from attending special events, selling raffle tickets, to donating raffle items or services.
