Board of Directors

Our voluntary Board of Directors plays a vital role in the governance and overall direction of the childcare centre. Comprised of dedicated individuals who bring a wealth of diverse skills and expertise, the Board provides strategic oversight and ensures that the centre operates in accordance with its mission, values, and regulatory requirements.

Each member of the Board volunteers their time and knowledge, offering guidance on key decisions, financial management, and long-term planning, all with the best interests of the children, families, and staff at heart. Their commitment to maintaining a high standard of care and education supports the centre’s growth and success, ensuring that it continues to provide a safe, inclusive, and enriching environment for all children. The Board’s collaborative approach fosters transparency, accountability, and a shared vision for the future of the centre.
