about the committee
Why Committees Are Important
Our Committee plays a vital role in supporting the preschool by working in line with relevant laws and legislation, while providing guidance and oversight alongside the Manager to ensure the setting runs smoothly.
Made up of parents, staff, and community members, the Committee brings people together to share ideas, make key decisions, organise fundraising activities, and represent the preschool.
They also contribute to financial and business decisions, always keeping the preschool environment and the children’s best interests at the heart of everything they do.
Their shared aim is to support ongoing growth, development, and continuous improvement for the benefit of all children and families.

-
Supports decision-making: Helps shape policies and procedures.
