Administrative Resources
School boards and directors are always asking for insight into how other schools promote membership and diversity, negotiate leases, create handbooks and forms, fundraising, etc. 

Best Practices As an advisory council to parent participation schools, we offer this checklist to help schools align to the CCPPNS philosophy and policies which are influenced by California employment law, Child Care Licensing, non-profit governance, insurance, and best practices in early childhood education.

Consultant Services
Some regional councils can provide access to lower-cost professional services for parents enrolled in member schools.

Diversity
All members acquire a deeper understanding of families' cultures and diversity and respect for parents' abilities and time.

Employment Support
Regional Councils can share employment agreements, and potential teacher incentives, like contract enhancements and teacher in-services, conference support, professional development, bonuses, etc. 

Insurance Group Coverage
CCPPNS provides a comprehensive group coverage plan that includes coverage for parents, children, and teachers. For more about insurance, click here.

Leadership
CCPPNS supports leadership development and best practices at every level. Parents and teachers are valued for their contributions to the growth and development of the schools and councils.

Marketing
Councils can provide social media support by way of websites, Facebook, branding, and participation in local events that attract young families. 

Networking
The support from other teachers and schools is essential - knowing you are not alone!

Non-Discrimination Statement
Regional councils provide guidance regarding compliance standards for non-discrimination statements, per IRS requirements for non-profit private schools.

Parent Education Resources
Member schools strive to provide relevant parent education and resources to families. Regional councils often post resources to secure experts in the field and share speaking events.

Parent Partnership
Parent and teacher representatives participating in CCPPNS together contribute to improving the "big picture" of the co-op movement.

Regulations
Resources and training for preschool board members, as well as directors and teachers, is an ongoing endeavor at all levels. Councils work on issues and solutions at a local level and also have CCPPNS support when needed. Licensing and other legal information is shared, with the aim to inform and safeguard all member schools.

Standards
CCPPNS promotes high educational standards by encouraging collaboration and continuing education for parents, teachers, and directors.

Taxes, Non-Profit Support
CCPPNS offers guidance to schools and councils in upholding non-profit status and filing annual required taxes.
