Parent Participation Preschool

Nurturing, caring teachers will help you and your child grow to your full potential in this unique preschool setting. Our education is focused on child development, positive discipline and developmentally appropriate practices. 

Parents work in the classroom in collaboration and guidance of the teacher to help children develop a variety of skills. Parents also learn parenting techniques to use in the classroom and at home.

Sacramento City Unified School District currently has three Parent Participation Preschool locations. There are three types of classes offered: 5 days a week, 4 days a week and a Friday toddler class. Please see locations listed below for specific information about what classes are offered at each location. 

To attend the preschool programs, children need to be 3 years old and fully potty trained. Children must be 2 years old to attend the Friday toddler class.

Parent Participation Requirements

The parent/guardian or family member works in the classroom one day per week. Age-appropriate activities are planned and developed by parents with the assistance of the teacher to help children develop skills throughout each milestone.

Parents are also required to attend the parent education classes which meet outside of the preschool component, usually during the evening.

Children may participate every day of their particular class schedule.
