Getting Involved
join the Board of Directors
The Neighborhood Preschool is an independent, non-profit, non-stock corporation. All parents of children using the school are members. NPS is governed by a Board of Directors composed of:
volunteer parents
the school director
a Wesleyan University representative
a staff representative
The Board serves as a policy-making, financial, and planning body. We also hire and oversee the position of the Director, who is responsible for the day-to-day administration of the school.
During the 2023-2024 year our regular board meetings will be announced through the parent listserv, parents are automatically added to the listserv upon registration at NPS. All parents are welcome to attend all board meetings. Time is reserved at the beginning of each meeting for visiting parent comments, questions, or concerns. Two meetings each year are specifically designated as general membership meetings. When the general membership meeting is in-person, it is held in the building and childcare and pizza are provided.

VOLUNTEER
We welcome parents at any time into the program. We hope some parents will choose to visit and share arts, crafts, music, dress, dance and stories from various heritages; such contributions are a real treat for both the children and staff.
