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.
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.

We’ll also offer a free family photo booth to capture memories for your child’s end-of-year memory book. Feel free to invite extended family and friends for an evening of fun and celebration!

3-7 Teacher Appreciation Week-May 4th-8th
We would love to have someone partner with us or spearhead a special celebration for the teachers. In past years, we have done a teacher’s brunch, & a week of special surprises. Or we also had a parent spearhead an entire week of special surprises for the teachers with the help of other parents. If you have an idea, please see someone in the preschool office coordinate this with you and the other parents.
5-7 Field Day
Parents are welcome to watch their child participate in outdoor activities during their regular recess.
We’re also seeking volunteers to help make the day a success! Please sign up using the button below.
