BHPCNS Values Community Input!

Dear Members of the BHPCNS Community, 

BHPCNS prides itself on being a wonderful community preschool where children come to play, grow, and learn and we are constantly working towards providing the best possible preschool experience to our children and their families. 

Since 2019, BHPCNS has had a long-term planning committee whose mission was to create a 5-Year Strategic Plan to guide the school's continued success as a premier preschool in the surrounding community. The planning process included in-depth surveys of current parents, past families, staff, and administrators. Unfortunately, the Covid-19  pandemic delayed the completion of the plan, until now.

As we begin 2023, the BHPCNS Board and I are excited to share with you the final BHPCNS Strategic Plan! Please review the plan by clicking here. As we move the plan forward we would like to hear your thoughts and ideas. We are also looking for volunteers to help make the various goals and objectives a reality. If you are in a position to help BHPCNS, please reach out to Liz Sobrino at Lsobrino@bhpcns.org or any of our board members at Board@bhpcns.org. 
 
Although you may remain anonymous, we hope you will include your name so we may further discuss your comments, ideas and/or volunteer opportunities with you. Thank you for providing us with your valuable input.

Director BHPCNS
