Sand Tots Parent Participation Preschool

 

In a cooperative preschool, parents are an integral part. Not only do they participate during class time, but they also have the opportunity to be involved in a variety of other activities that directly affect their child’s classroom experience via the administration of the school, such as serving on the Board of Directors. This multilevel participation in the preschool enables parents to share in their child’s preschool experience and ensures a quality program through combined efforts and talents.

 

Parent Testimonials

  • Sand Tots has been an incredible experience for our family. The small class sizes, with two teachers and two parents in every class, create a supportive and engaging environment where every child receives plenty of attention. As a parent, it’s been amazing to build relationships with not just the teachers but all the kids—it truly feels like a community.

    I love that learning at Sand Tots is play-based—kids are free to explore, get messy, and just be kids. Whether they’re splashing in a mud pit, covered in paint, or running around in undies, they’re learning through play in the best way possible.

    We’ve had nothing but a wonderful experience, and I would highly recommend Sand Tots to any parent looking for a nurturing, community-driven start to their child’s early education.

  • We've had such a wonderful experience at Sand Tots! The teachers are nurturing, creative, and truly invested in each child's development. The collaborative environment has given us the chance to be part of our daughter's early learning in such a meaningful way. She's grown so much socially, emotionally, and academically - and she has made lifelong friends along the way!

  • A Magical Experience! Between my two children, we were at Sand Tots for seven years. Through play, these inspirational and intentional teachers were able to prepare my children, not only for kindergarten, but also set an amazing foundation for the rest of their lives! The small teacher to student ratios (1:4), the ability for parents to help in the classroom, and the focus on language and STEM set this school apart from other preschools in the area. In addition, I learned so much too!! Through time in the classroom and access to the magnificent teachers, I learned how to talk to children and how to help them learn through play. I am so grateful for our time at this magical school!
