2025/26 COMMITTEE

The Preschool Management Committee plays a crucial role in ensuring the smooth and effective operation of the Preschool. It is usually made up of parents, staff representatives, and community members who work collaboratively to support the Preschool’s vision and goals. The committee is responsible for overseeing key areas such as budgeting, staffing, facilities, curriculum planning, and the development of school policies. It helps ensure that the Preschool maintains a safe, nurturing, and inclusive environment where children can thrive. Additionally, the committee acts as a bridge between families and staff, encouraging open communication and community involvement. Through thoughtful decision-making and shared responsibility, the committee helps lay a strong foundation for children's early learning experiences.
