LAF Junior Co-op is a homeschool enrichment program for students in Pre-K through 5th grade and their younger siblings. Junior Co-op requires parents of all students to remain on campus throughout the program and serve in their assigned Service Roles. Parents will not be asked to prepare lesson plans or lead classes. Our paid facilitators do all of that! But parents do help in the classrooms, hallways, gym, concession stand, coffee shop, welcome table, and wherever else is needed.
At least one parent or adult family representative from each family registered for the LAF Junior Co-op is required to remain on campus serving in their assigned role during all of Junior Co-op. That means parents cannot send their child to Co-op under the guardianship of another Junior Co-op parent/guardian or family already in attendance. If a parent or guardian is not present with a child, the child will not be permitted to attend Co-op that day.
