Yes, as a co-op program we work together to provide an exceptionally high-quality program at affordable prices. Parents are asked to volunteer at least twice a year and have multiple options for participating: you can take materials home to cut out or trace for the teachers, help out with a fundraiser, plan a holiday party or assist in the classroom. Parent helper days will not start until October as children need to adapt to the environment and learn the classroom routines. All parent helpers inside the classroom and those attending field trips must complete a background check every year per Baltimore County Park & Rec. Please click here and follow the directions to complete theBaltimore County Department of Recreation and Parks Volunteer Background Check
In addition to the Baltimore County Recreation and Parks background check, all classroom volunteers will be required to complete the a fingerprinting background check for child care. Please note the fingerprinting background check is only for those who will volunteer in the classrooms. Those attending field trips only need the Baltimore County Department of Recreation and Parks Background Check. For your convenience we will schedule an evening fingerprinting event, during which any volunteers will be able to complete their fingerprinting. The cost will be about $60 per person.
