Volunteer
BHNS Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteering in the classroom and in the greater community has always been a special part of the BHNS experience.
Catch a little peek into your child's day while helping the teachers with arts & crafts preperation and other projects. We also ask for parent volunteers for snack purchase and towel washing on a weekly basis.
Thank you to everyone who has volunteered for BHNS this school year. We really appreciate you!
Executive Board
Belvedere-Hawthorne Nursery Schools is a non-profit corporation licensed by the State of California, owned and operated by the parents who have children attending Belvedere Nursery School and/or Hawthorne Pre-Kindergarten.
The Board of Directors is responsible for policy making. Recommendations from the Board of Directors and the Directors of the Schools provide important guidance for Board decisions. Each year in May the proposed Board of Directors is voted on and approved into office by the parent population of BHNS. The Board is typically comprised of parents that have children currently enrolled at BHNS.
