Our Little Story

Dandelion Friends Preschool is a cooperative program that is dependent on parent involvement. Because we depend on parents we are able to keep costs down, which is nice. The degree of parent involvement and cost is dependent on how many families we have participating. Currently, tuition is $100x days of the week you attend per month. Example: if a child attends 2 days a week, monthly tuition is $200; $300 for 3 days a week and so on. We are offering 3 days a week, Tuesday-Thursday. Our total maximum is 12 kids/day.

The Preschool is located at the Chapel by the Lake in Auke Bay.  In addition to assisting the teacher on your parent work days, each family has a “family job,” such as keeping our first aid kit stocked, planning a monthly field trip, doing laundry weekly, etc.

We follow the Juneau School District Calendar, but we start a week later and end a week sooner.
