Your participation in preschool is a wonderful way to begin what will be many years of involvement in your child’s education. 

ÈËÆÞÂÒÂ× the Program

Parents volunteer in the classroom at least one day a week in collaboration and guidance of the preschool teacher to help children develop a variety of skills including social and emotional development, pre-writing, concepts, collaborative play, and foundational skills for kindergarten.

Parents also attend separate parent meetings (usually held in the evening) to learn parenting techniques to use in the classroom and at home. 

Sac City Unified currently has three Parent Participation Preschool locations at Edward Kelley Preschool (3340 Bradshaw Road), Tahoe Elementary (3110 60th Street), and Thomas Jefferson Preschool (2635 Chestnut Hill Drive). There are three types of classes offered: 5 days a week, 4 days a week and a Friday toddler class. 

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