Dolly Parton's Imagination Library is Available in Our Community!📚
Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is a book gifting program that mails free, high-quality books to children from birth to age five, no matter their family’s income.
After launching in 1995, the program grew quickly. First books were only distributed to children living in Sevier County, Tennessee where Dolly grew up. It became such a success that in 2000 a national replication effort was underway. By 2003, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library had mailed one million books. It would prove to be the first of many millions of books sent to children around the world.
Parent Participation Volunteer Opportunities
Click Here to discover a list of various opportunities for parent participation credit.
AAUW Preschool is a Parent Cooperative Preschool!
By participating in the parent co-op, families earn parent participation credit hours. These efforts maintain our facility, improve our programs, and keep tuition costs affordable.
We are nearing the end of the 2025-2026 school year. Please be sure you are keeping track of your Parent Participation hours by recording them after completion. Reminder that you need 4 hours of maintenance which includes indoor &/or outdoor cleaning as well as 2 hours for carnival.
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO!
