Die Kleine Kinderschule is a non-profit organization that operates as a parent co-operative. Therefore we need the involvement of each of our DKK parents to continue to operate and provide high quality German bilingual learning opportunities for our students. DKK does not require mandatory volunteering by parents; instead, we trust that everyone will get involved according to his or her abilities and availability.

There are many ways that you as a parent can contribute towards the success of our program and we welcome your input:

• Attend the Annual General Meeting in the Spring
• Volunteer for an Executive Board position (elections are held at the Annual General Meeting in the Spring, each role requires a minimum 1-year term, and roles are explained in the Parent Handbook)
• Assist with fundraising efforts throughout the school year
• Sign-up to be a Casino volunteer (we sign up for a casino every second year)
• Volunteer to assist with school field trips (police check required)
• Assist with washing toys to help keep our classrooms clean and welcoming
• Share a skill, hobby or job with one of our classes (make a presentation with the assistance of your location’s teaching team)
• Find even more potential ways to get involved by reading the roles outlined in The Parent Handbook

We fully realize that the toughest job facing any organization is the recruitment of volunteers. When registering your child, you will be asked to identify the volunteer positions that interest you and you will be contacted as needed. Please be familiar with the roles (both volunteer and board-related) prior to registration by reading the descriptions in The Parent Handbook.
