Bethany Busy Bee Preschool’s success in offering a quality preschool education in a loving, Christian environment heavily benefits from the partnership with parents and the church. We offer various opportunities for parents to partner with us to enhance their child’s preschool experience. The special events we offer are truly more special when parents are around to share the moment.
Parents are highly encouraged to volunteer one hour each month, or 9 hours each school year. There are a variety of ways to meet these hours, depending on your interests, abilities and availability. If you have a special talent that you would like to help with but it is not listed, please speak with the Director.
We also have several opportunities for parents to lead or act as in an advisory role in the following areas: Governance Team as a parent representative, Samaritan’s Purse, Silent Auction, Fall Festival, Rodeo Days, Thanksgiving Feast, Room Parent, or Teacher Appreciation.
Parent Participation and Volunteer Opportunities are available throughout the school year. You may choose from School Wide Special Events, Reoccurring Needs, Classroom Specific Needs, and participating in school fundraisers by attending and/or providing food, beverage or cash donations.
