"I like that the teachers can spend their time with the students rather than on things like setting out the snack. I know it makes a difference to the kids who were reluctant to leave their parents, that they can depend on the attention of Mrs. Anderson."Each PNS class is staffed with one full time teacher. A parent helper also works in the classroom each day. PNS believes a permanent assistant creates greater continuity and stability in the classroom than two working parents. Therefore a permanent assistant, rather than a second parent, is added as required to maintain our 6:1 maximum ratio. Our staff also includes an educational consultant who reviews our programs and addresses any educational issues.
