Class Schedules

 

In the fall of 2022, we are returning to a five day per week program. Tuition costs are calculated with that in mind. However, enrolled parents are free to attend the number of days that best fit their family. 

​

While you will be limited to the class times for which you enroll, your parent work day will be the only day each week that you are required to attend, so feel free to set a schedule that works for you!

​

Cost: $335/month

​

​

Afternoon Class

12:30pm to 3:15pm

Parent Participation
 

Membership in a parent participation nursery school is a family experience. We share goals, benefits, and responsibilities. Grown-up participation in the classroom is one of the things that makes JMPNS unique. Each family is responsible for providing at least one adult who can volunteer regularly. However, each class has 2 non-working enrollment slots for those who cannot possibly join during the regularly scheduled class times. 

 

For parents who work part or full time, be advised that California law allows parents, grandparents and guardians to take time from work to participate in their children's school or child care activities.

​

In addition to working in the classroom one session per week, grown-ups are also required to hold one committee job per enrolled child (ie; cleaning, yard maintenance, laundry, etc.), participate in fundraising efforts, and attend monthly parent education/school business meetings on the first Wednesday of each month.

​

Our cooperative community cannot thrive and grow without input and participation from every member family.
