Q:

A:

We meet for 2 semesters that are 15 weeks each. Semester 1 is from September to December. Semester 2 is from January to May. We have other meet-ups, field trips or events that may be on different days and times and in the summer.

Q:

A:

We meet from 9 am to 3:30 pm, but you decide what times you want to attend co-op.

Q:

A:

No, you set your own schedule, depending on what classes you want for your child(ren).

Q:

A:

Grow is not a drop-off program. You must be on the premises with your child(ren) the whole time. If you need to do an errand during the day, you must leave another adult on site in charge of your child(ren) and sign out at the front table.

Q:

A:

Yes, our lunch time is from 11:50 am to 12:30 pm, and we encourage all families to be there to build community.

Q:

A:

Yes, every parent must have a volunteer job. Volunteer jobs include: morning setup, afternoon cleanup, door monitor, gym monitor, hallway monitor, art room helper.

Q:

A:

A lot of our jobs can be done with little kids, but we would not recommend, for example, art room helper. We will work with you to find a volunteer job that works for your family and if you need to swap volunteer jobs, we can help with that too.

Q:

A:

No, we have parents and outside teachers teaching classes. Parents are only required to help by volunteering, not teaching. But if you would like to teach and have knowledge or teaching experience you want to share, please let us know.

Q:

A:

The cost to join the co-op for the 2024-2025 year per family is a $25 registration fee (non-refundable) and $100 per semester (there are 2 semesters). This cost enables the co-op to rent the church, pay for insurance, and cover any other expenses. This amount gives your family access to all of our activities, events, free clubs, open gym times, and ability to register for paid classes.

Q:

A:

Take a tour of the co-op (or meet a member of the board), fill out registration paperwork, join on the website, and pay the $25 registration fee.

Semester class fees range from $80 to $225, with most being in the $100 to $200 range. The semesters are 15 weeks. Class fees are per child per class.

There is a preschool room for the younger kids to play in. We have a lunch room and a game room available to hang out in all day. There is also a small outside playground when the weather is nice. The gym is available to play in when it is not in use by a class. Please stay with your younger child while they are not in a class.

Q:

A:

After you register, you will create a member account on our website and be able to select your classes.

Q:

The co-op is in the process of registering as a not-for-profit. Board members volunteer their time to manage the co-op and are not compensated for their work.
