Kids Corner is not a cooperative. Although parents are not required to put in
classroom time or regular hours of service, parent involvement and support are
essential to the programs philosophy and goals.
Through the parent Board, parents determine actual program direction, thus
ensuring that their children have the kind of experience they, collectively, desire for
them. Occasional help from parents at large and regular support from the Board
free the staff to concentrate on
and serving the needs of the children. Support of this nature also helps keep the
administrative costs of the program down.
The program belongs to you, the parents, and your children. Your cooperation,
constructive input, and contribution
implementing the parents goals for the programs
contribution— large and small — help determine its success.
