Each child is required to bring their own snack to class. Every child will get a special day where they get to help the teacher during circle time and we encourage the student to bring something special to class that they would like to show and tell everyone about.
Parent Involvement:
There are no Rostering days at West Edmonton Playschool. However, we do welcome parent involvement in the classroom.
Even though we are non-rostering we still require a group of parent volunteers to run the playschool for various parent committees and Executive board.
Fill out the volunteer section of your registration form to get involved.
Parents are invited to class parties, carnivals, graduation, parent/ teacher interviews throughout the year.
