Storytelling Bring in a favorite book or read a special classroom favorite.  Bilingual readers are also welcomed. Being A Buddy Spend a little one-on-one time with a child enjoying puzzles, books, make-believe or simply sharing a lap.  A teacher will partner you with a child or two. Lunch Bunch Joining the class between 10:00-12:00 is an enormous help as children transition from morning activities, outside playtime, then lunch and quiet time.  You will be given general guidance each time you come Takin' a Trip Both preschool classes take occasional field trips and would welcome volunteer participation. Cooking Up a Storm Whether it's playdough recipe or frozen parfait, children love to cook.  Be sure to plan this activity in advance with teachers, as well as hunt for suggestions and ideas that may coordinate with current curriculum.  If thee is a grocery list involved, please let us know one week in advance.  (State law requires that all food be pre-packaged, prepared in a commercial kitchen or on-site) Spending Time There are so many things to do, From entering data on the computer to keeping the library current to researching community presenter for parent meetings.

Staff or board members are happy to arrange a tour so you can enjoy the children and teachers first hand.  Once you visit you will understand why our volunteers enjoy their time at Lakewood Preschool, and want to join our family.  Call or email us to get involved, contribute to our success, and share our joy.  We'll even provide you with a volunteer handbook.
