About the Sprouts Co-op

Mountain Sprouts Preschool believes in working together to build a strong classroom community and that the work you do for your school not only helps keep costs low, but encourages families to invest in their child’s relationships, educational experience, and classroom environment.

Each family is asked to participate in the co-op efforts on a regular basis, in concentrated efforts or large projects, or both! Including parents and their unique skill sets in the Classroom through our Co-Op jobs not only builds community, but can be a great source of pride for our Students and an important element of an inclusive classroom.  Jobs vary and adapt from year to year in response to the unique gifts of our school community. Opportunities will be available seasonally or on-going, and will be posted throughout the year.

Families are responsible for sign ups and will be contacted for scheduling!
