We empower Carmelo teachers to create a more enriching preschool experience for all our students
Our funds mainly go toward monthly enrichment assemblies, teacher stipends, and teacher grants for campus and classroom upgrades, to ensure our beloved teachers have the tools and funds they need to provide a joyful and engaging early childhood education for our preschoolers.
Assemblies
Each month the CPO brings professional musicians, DJs, dancers, magicians, emergency service professionals or animals (and so much more) to Carmelo’s Campus so students can experience a variety of arts and music!
Field Trips
Every October, students are escorted across the street to visit our local fire station, learn fire safety tips from our fire fighters and even test out the fire hose!
Toys and Books
Whenever a teacher asks for a new toy, equipment, or book, the CPO says yes as quickly as possible. As long as the item is not consumable (like kinetic sand, paper or markers) we are happy to provide teachers what they need to make their classroom environments more enriching for students.
