At Binkley, Parents are Always Welcome
While there is no required time commitment, volunteer efforts by our families help our preschool in many, many ways! Many Binkley parents take on large roles, such as serving on the Parent Board or chairing fundraisers.
Parents also help us with smaller but equally important tasks, such as being a guest reader or helper during a class party. They make play dough, clap and cheer during our Halloween parades, and are important partners with our teachers in their child’s first school experiences.
We place great importance on the home-school connection. We keep our families informed with weekly “Friday Family Notes”, activity-specific emails, and newsletters.
Binkley Volunteer Parent Board
The Binkley Preschool Parent Board is composed of parents who are responsible for much of the “business of preschool” including, but not limited to, finances, staffing, registration, parent relations, scholarships, major equipment acquisition and repair, and record keeping.
The Parent Board welcomes parent input. Each spring, parents have the opportunity to apply for a Board position, if interested. A selection committee chooses the slate and presents the nominations to the current board. Minutes of the Parent Board meetings are posted each month.
