Camp is open on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 8:30am-12:00pm.  Send your child with a healthy snack each day.

Drop in tuition is $25/day or save with a punch pass good for any 10 days for only $200.

Camp Co-Op is a perfect introduction to those beginning preschool in the fall but also is an exciting adventure for all students under age 6.  Children do not need to be enrolled in the PRCP fall program to attend Camp.  All are welcome.

Chili Cook Off Results and Thanks

  • Posted on October 3, 2011 at 10:25 pm

The PRCP Chili Cook Off and Ice Cream Social was a great success thanks to the hard work of our families – it truly was a Cooperative effort!  From the families who participated in the chili cooking to the food donators, ice cream scoopers and extra hands setting up and cleaning up everyone really came together to make it happen.  Without the time, effort and energy of all of you it would not have been possible.  THANK YOU!

Each entry was delicious and unique – not an easy choice.  But no one went home hungry!  Congratulations to the winners of the day:

1st Place: Big Al’s Green Chili made by the Schneider Family

2nd Place: Daddy’s Birthday Chili made by the Becker Family

3rd Place: Mamacita’s Chili made by the Brown/Alvarez Family

Coloring Contest: Adam Grapentine & Skylar Ott

A great day was had by all – and we netted just under $2200 profit!  Our projections included a bit higher enrollment so we have to make adjustments, but the Silent Auction and Raffle Ticket sales provided strong support to the event.  So a big thank you to everyone’s participation in rounding up donations and purchasing items and tickets.  Again, we couldn’t have done it without you!

Back to School Parent Orientation Meeting: August 24

  • Posted on August 18, 2011 at 9:14 am

The beginning of the 2011-2012 school year is just around the corner! The teachers, Board Members, and I have been planning another exciting and busy year for you and your child. We’re eager to share those plans and all the information you’ll need with you next week at the Parent Orientation Meeting: Wednesday, August 24 at 6pm or 6:30pm.

This meeting will be held at the school and one adult representative from each family must attend.  If your child is registered for classes on T/Th or T/Th/F, the meeting wil begin at 6pm in the Live Oak Cafe, which is located directly next door to the school on the east side, attached to the church.  The Board Members and I will be discussing school policies and fundraising plans for the year.  Next you will move over into the classrooms to meet with your child’s teacher.  The teachers will be discussing classroom organization, curriculum, Level 1 working parent expectations, and other important information. If your child is registered for M/W or M/W/F classes, please arrive at 6:30pm in the Live Oak Cafe where you will meet with myself and the Board before moving into the classrooms with the teachers. This evening is for parents only. It is a great time to learn about the preschool program, meet the teachers, and check out the classrooms.

In addition, all parents will need to sign up for a job at the first School Clean Up Day on Saturday, August 27th before leaving the Orientation Meeting. We will be discussing Clean Up Days and all of the other participation requirements at the meeting so bring any questions you may have.

Lastly, a reminder of the required paperwork we must have in the office before your child begins school: Physician’s Report and a copy of their Immunization Record; TB test results and copies of your driver’s license and current proof of insurance if you are a Level 1 Working Parent (or plan to drive on any field trips).  All of our school registration forms are accessible online under Forms.

As always, please feel free to contact me any time with questions:  238-5059 or director@pasoroblescooppreschool.com.  I look forward to seeing you next week and the start of another wonderful Coop year!
