The Co-op Participation Advantage

As a parent cooperative, Montessori Manor is a team of parents working together to help all of our children. Participation of our parents is an integral to the functioning of the school; without it, the school would lose its sense of community and tuition would increase dramatically. Every moment parents spend participating makes our school stronger and more special for the children. All jobs parents do are jobs we would othersise pay someone to do, saving thousands of dollars.

Active involvement in co-op is an excellent way to get to know the school, other parents and your child's direction. By assisting the staff as a classroom parent, you can become more familiar with classroom materials and current areas of study. Special events provide an opportunity to meet parents of your child's schoolmates while realizing important school needs. By helping to clean, unpack, and repair, you will experience your child's environment first hand.
