Duty Parents
Wondering what is expected of duty parents? Read On.....
 You must be on time for duty. This means in your apron and at your station when playschool starts. Duty job descriptions are in your apron pocket.
Duty parents are encouraged to ask for support from teachers if uncomfortable intervening or redirecting children in difficulty. The teachers know the children very well and do not mind stepping in to assist.
Duty parents are responsible for assisting children to use the washroom and changing diapers. The butler is the only exception because s/he is handling food. To ensure proper ratios, teachers will not be doing toileting duties.
Duty parents with new babies or napping toddlers may want to choose butler duty. There is a new playpen and swing in the kitchen.
Teachers and duty parents are to encourage children to tidy up one activity before moving on to another at activity time.
Duty parents and visitors who wish to join the group are asked to sit with the children at circle time.
Remember....
You help to make this place run. You are among friends and help is everywhere, just ask. Have fun and enjoy your time with the children. The enjoy spending time with you at their playschool. (top of page)
