Parent Participation

At McLeod Nursery School, we believe that active parent participation is at the heart of what makes our school a warm, welcoming, and successful place for children to grow and learn. As a co-op nursery school, we rely on the dedication and enthusiasm of our parent community to create a positive and enriching environment for everyone.

We offer a range of committees that allow parents to contribute their time, talents, and energy in meaningful ways. Whether you’re interested in supporting classroom activities, organizing events, or contributing to the overall development of the school, there are many opportunities to get involved and make a difference.

Your involvement plays a crucial role in building a strong foundation for our children’s education and fostering a sense of belonging for all families at McLeod Nursery School.
