Volunteer - Grandparents & Special Grown-Ups

What You'll Do

Share something you love — read a favorite book, share a hobby, play music, create something, teach us about your culture or traditions, show us a special skill, or bring another interest to the classroom.

Join in with the children — you can lead a simple activity, participate alongside them, answer their questions, or simply spend time together.

Bring a little bit of your world into ours — give children an opportunity to discover something new through the people who are special in their lives.

Have fun and connect! — no teaching experience or elaborate activity is needed. The most important part is spending time together and being part of our Wildflowers community.

Requirements

A Few Simple Requirements

• Come ready to have fun and connect with our children.
• Keep it simple and age-appropriate — no teaching or volunteer experience is needed.
• Plan to stay with a Wildflowers teacher while participating in the classroom.
• Check with us ahead of time before bringing food, materials, or other items into the classroom, as some classrooms have allergies or other considerations.
• Follow our classroom and safety practices while visiting.
• Most importantly, bring yourself and something you enjoy sharing!

Benefits

• Big smiles & little high-fives — possibly the best compensation around.
• A very enthusiastic audience — preschoolers are excellent at making you feel interesting!
• Share something you love with a whole new generation of curious minds.
• Make a child’s day — and there’s a pretty good chance they’ll make yours too.
• Become part of our Wildflowers community and get a peek into your special little one’s world.
• Create sweet memories that children—and grown-ups—can carry with them long after the visit is over.
