Our Board of Directors
The Board of Directors is a big part of a successful cooperative school experience. Our Board is comprised of parents of current students and alumni and members of the community. It sets and enacts policy for the preschool. They are the legal officers of the preschool which is mandated for non-profits bylaws. The Board works directly with the teaching staff as a team to give our students the best opportunities and keep the school running smoothly. This includes planning and execution of fundraisers, community event involvement, enrichment programs and much more. Board Meetings are open to all families. These are wonderful opportunities to work with teachers and other parents concerning the interests and needs of your preschoolers. Meetings typically take place monthly either in the preschool or virtually on Zoom (to allow more families to attend!) Please confirm upcoming date and time of meetings with Ms. Kathryn.
