How Often Do You Help At Kinder?

[fionas]

Had my first session helping at DD1's kinder today. It was great seeing what she does there and meeting the other children.

I'm thinking of doing it twice a month.

How often d'you find is about right?

at 3yr old kinder they are asking for 2 parents per session, it's a biggish class (20ish kids) and only 2 sessions a week so if everyone takes their turn we could probably do once a month.
That said my first turn wont be until April as we've onmly just started the roster.

Ours is 2 per session as well, with DS's I can't do it at all because I work one day and have swimming with DD the other day and with DD's the dates filled up before I had a chance. I try for 1-2 per term if I can but it can be a bit tricky to work out.

Our kinder is only 1 parent helper per session. I have my first for 4yo this Wednesday (I stay the entire session). We have a large group, so it will probably only be twice for the year, 3 times max.

Ours is optional and I have done it once so far - I really enjoyed it. I wil be helping out probably 1-2 times per month, depending on how busy I am with other things

Ours is one parent per session with only one session per day. They're also optional but both my kids love the idea of having Mum and Dad there. I do a kindy and pre-primary session each semester and so does my DH. It seems maybe 80% of parents are either not working, or able to be flexible in their work so the times fill up really fast.
