Parent Shares are group discussions held quarterly for each of the 2's, 3's, Mixed and Pre-K classes. Our Bates advisor, a guest or a Co-op member, facilitates each Parent Share. Shares are focused to give information, support and the understanding of those who have been there. Each time a Parent Share is attended, one (1) Parent Education Credit is earned.

Shares are most often held in the basement of the school during class time beginning 10 minutes after the start of class. Participants can come and go as available depending on the needs of your child in class. During the first 15 minutes handouts and topic highlights are usually presented with group participation the remaining time. A wide range of topics will be presented, and time during each Share is planned for discussion of additional issues.

The Shares are not only a great place to get information and support for the challenging job of parenting, but it is the best way to meet the voices of experience - the wise, warm and wonderful members of the Co-Op!
