PARENTS PAGE

Getting parents involved in Harpole Preschool is something that we feel is very important. We completely understand that as a parent you will have 101 other things to do so we’ve created numerous was for you to be involved. The value to us and to your child when you get involved …well its priceless. It supports your child and it shows them you are interested in their life when they are away from you.


In order for us to provide those special extras we have a fundraising committee who runs events such as coffee mornings, pamper evening and quiz nights.

I could not be happier and more grateful for all you provide at Pre-School. The children are so well cared for, but more than that, well loved by you all. So heartwarming, thank you.
