Parents Nursery School - Now Enrolling!

Parents’ Nursery School is a parent cooperative, meaning our families all work together to make sure the school runs smoothly, remains financially healthy and our building in good shape. Being a member of a cooperative does require time and effort, but it is manageable (and compatible even with most working families’ schedules), and being involved in your child’s educational journey is immensely rewarding. The cooperative structure also fosters a real sense of community – friendships often last well beyond PNS ‘graduation’, for parents as much as children!

The basic responsibilities are:

• Parent Helping
  Get to know other families and children while spending time with your child in the classroom. Assist teachers with the morning routine by tidying up the classroom and preparing shared snack. Families are asked to parent help approx once per month.
• 2 ‘Work Days’
  One parent from each family come together to work as a group during a morning shift on a Saturday. There is a fall work day and a spring work day. And there’s bagels, coffee and tunes 
• Parent Committees
  One family member either has a job on one of the parent committees (Events, Community Relations, Maintenance and Supply, PNS Librarian..) or serves as a Board Member (eg Secretary, Admissions Chair, Treasurer…)
