Nada Riley
Office Manager, Tots Teacher (she/HER)
Nada has been a part of the Park West Cooperative community since 1984, both in her professional roles and her life as a Park West parent. Her time at school has included many roles -- classroom assistant, tots teacher co-facilitator, office manager, and camp director. Her connection to Park West runs deep. Her daughter Kim attended the school and later returned as a Tots teacher. Through the years, she has come to deeply value the relationships built here among children, families, and educators and a shared commitment to one another’s growth. Outside the classroom, she is a community advocate, avid gardener and an animal lover, sharing her home with her daughter and a lively crew of four-legged friends - two dogs and four cats. She’s also known for her love of hands-on, messy experiences, always ready to dive into art projects, sensory play, or a muddy garden bed.
