Perry Hall Children’s Center was founded by a group of parents who recognized the importance of parental involvement in the education of young children. We are located at Saint Michael’s Lutheran Church. A cooperative preschool is maintained by the parents/guardians of the children enrolled. Parents take turns assisting teachers in the classroom, volunteering for one of the many necessary jobs (which may be in or out of the classroom) and sharing in the business operations of the school, such as fundraising. At Perry Hall Children’s Center, parents participate in their child’s classroom monthly (usually 1 to 2 times a month, depending on class size), attend parent education events, and assist in the running of the school by volunteering
