CDS Parent Community Alliance (PCA): Join The Story Of Your Child’s Success

At the heart of every thriving school is a community of engaged parents who come together to make a difference. The CDS Parent Community Alliance (PCA) is where parents like you become heroes in the story of your child’s education. Together, we create opportunities, foster connections, and build a stronger, more vibrant school experience for everyone.

Who We Are

The PCA is a community of dedicated parents and caregivers united by a common goal: to support Collage Day School, its educators, and, most importantly, our children. We’re your partners, your cheerleaders, and your collaborators in shaping the kind of school environment where children can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

What We Do

We organize engaging events, support classroom initiatives, and provide resources to enhance learning opportunities. From planning school-wide celebrations to assisting with teacher appreciation efforts, every PCA project is designed to enrich the lives of our students, families, and staff.

Why Your Support Matters

Tuition at Collage Day School ensures that the essentials are covered—like outstanding educators, curriculum materials, and operational needs, but it’s donations from parents like you that allow us to go beyond the basics.

Your Contributions Help Fund:

Exciting School Events that bring joy and foster community among students and families.

Teacher Appreciation Initiatives to honor and support our hardworking educators.

Enrichment Opportunities like campus enhancements, special programs and projects, and supplementing teacher development.

These contributions are the “extras” that transform a great school into an extraordinary one, and they are only possible because of the generosity of our parents and sponsors.

Sponsorship Opportunities

If volunteering isn’t the right fit for you, you can still make an incredible impact as a PCA sponsor. Sponsorship opportunities are available for Collage Day School families and community supporters – individuals and businesses who want to invest in our children’s futures.

Becoming a sponsor means you’ll help provide the resources that spark creativity, inspire learning, and show appreciation for the staff who make our school exceptional. As a sponsor, you’ll play a pivotal role in ensuring Collage Day School remains a place where every child’s story can flourish.

A Role for Everyone

Whether you give your time, your talents, or your financial support, your involvement in the PCA makes a real difference. By stepping into the role of supporter, you become a guide in the story of your child’s education—a story filled with opportunity, growth, and success.

Your generosity fuels the journey. Join us in writing the next chapter for Collage Day School students by volunteering, donating, or becoming a sponsor. Together, we’ll make the story unforgettable.
