A Parent Involvement Preschool (PIP) is a place for families and teachers to work together, creating a positive, supportive, and enriched educational environment for children. Children and parents learn new skills, build community and share in their first school experience together.
At Dunbar Memorial Preschool, parents/caregivers are invited to volunteer in a variety of ways. Some parents choose to be on the Executive Board that makes the decisions in the running and administration of the preschool, some parents are classroom parents and help the teachers with tasks that can be done at home, some parents volunteer on cleaning days twice a year giving all the large equipment a good cleaning and other parents volunteer for special days in the classroom such as baking days or cookie decorating.
As a non-profit preschool run by an Executive Board parents are directly involved in the administration of the preschool. Parents are encouraged to volunteer on the Executive Board.

Being on the Executive lets you have a say in how the preschool is operated.
