Prospect Enrichment
Preschool
is strongly supported by private individuals through their donations of
time. Not only is the school funded mainly by private donations but it
also has a strong volunteer program, providing extra help and attention
for each child. Volunteers help in a number of ways such as reading to
a child or small group, initiating an art or science project, or just
playing with the children.
There are many ways
that you can contribute to our preschool.

your time
The preschool depends on volunteers to give the students the best environment
for learning. Parents, family members and school supporters are encouraged
to spend time as a volunteer at the preschool.
