The board of directors plays a vital role as an advisory council, primarily focusing on safeguarding the best interests of the program. Composed of dedicated individuals who are often parents, community members, or experts in childcare and education, their purpose is to provide guidance, oversight, and strategic direction. They help ensure the center operates efficiently and equitably, maintains a high standard of care, and remains financially sustainable. The board’s commitment to the well-being of children and the center’s mission is fundamental in shaping the policies and decisions that support the growth and success of our program.
