Parent Association Overview

A parent association is an organization run by the parents of children who attend a specific childcare center or school community. The organization raises funds and arranges activities to enrich the lives and well being of the children in and out of the classroom, like a PTA. This provides parent volunteer opportunities for all parents to join and have visibility into educational policies and enrichment opportunities for their children! Parents volunteer their in-person, remote, or social media time and support to participate in shaping school life and building a sense of community. Association members are parents who have volunteered to take charge of particular tasks.  

Parents and guardians contribute their voice, energy, and ideas through active involvement, contributing to students’ needs and student success. Being present at meetings and functions conveys a commitment to their children’s education and to school activities.

Parent associations build a community around your childcare center. They provide an opportunity for parents to get to know each other and better support educators and children. Download this free printable overview to get your parent association set up for success!
