About Us
Mission Statement
FUNCO is a non-profit, 100% parent-run preschool for ages 2 – 5. Our mission is to contribute to the development of our children by providing an engaging and organized classroom experience and to promote a sense of self-esteem in children by guiding them through age-appropriate lesson plans that develop them in our four weekly subjects, as well as age-appropriate crafts that develop motor skills, encourage following directions, promote individual creativity and respectful behavior.
Our Program
A cooperative program is operated by the parents of the children enrolled. The parents each hold and execute an important role to ensure our program runs effectively and efficiently in addition to working once weekly in the classroom.
Each parent works a designated day as well as holds one of 20 positions at the school. These positions include board members, POD’s (parent of the day), teachers, fundraising, field trip coordinator, safety/auditor, supply buyer, party planners, yearbook, and cleaning committee.
