To be placed on the waiting list, please fill out the child history form (given to parents after the play date, if requested) and mail to PPLA, 914 E. 22nd Street, Oakland, CA 94606. In addition, we ask that you mail your $25.00 yearly and non0refundable waiting list fee (checks can be made out to the school's name or to Cynthia Reimann) to PPLA with a personal bank check. Thank you!

Other: In an effort to unify families and create strong communal bonds within our school, we ask that parents join our parent committee and contribute a couple of hours, per month of volunteer service to our school on a monthly basis.

If you can play an instrument, make jewelry, garden and cook; please let us know, as we would greatly appreciate your participation in our circle and art time. In addition, we are always in need of a handy person to provide maintenance to our facility and to help us brainstorm new ways to fundraiser.
