Parent-Participation Requirements

Get Involved: Volunteer at BFLP!

At Burnaby French Language Preschool (BFLP), we are more than just a school—we are a community built on collaboration and shared commitment. As a parent-participation preschool, each family plays an essential role in ensuring the success of our programs and the nurturing learning environment we provide for our children.

Why Volunteer?

🌟 Support Your Child’s Education – Your involvement directly enhances the quality of their early learning experience.
🌟 Build Community – Connect with other parents and caregivers who share a passion for bilingual education.
🌟 Develop New Skills – Gain valuable experience in leadership, organization, and teamwork.
🌟 Keep Tuition Affordable – Our parent-run model allows BFLP to maintain lower tuition costs than many other preschools.

How You Can Help

BFLP depends on active volunteers to manage nearly 100% of operations, allowing our dedicated teachers to focus entirely on the children. Every contribution, whether big or small, makes a meaningful difference!

📌 Executive Board & Committee Roles – Essential for running school operations.
📌 Event Planning & Fundraising – Help organize community events and raise funds.
📌 Classroom & Facility Support – Assist with classroom needs, maintenance, and special projects.

Volunteer Commitment

All registered families are required to contribute a minimum of 20 volunteer hours per school year (September – June). Families enrolling mid-year will have a prorated requirement based on their start date.

Families unable to fulfill their volunteer commitment will be subject to a prorated Volunteer Guarantee Fee, which will be withdrawn at the end of the school year.
