MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE
We are a community preschool run by you
Dunoon Preschool is a unique Community Preschool.
​
What does this mean?
​
Being a community preschool means we are a not-for-profit organisation run by you, the preschool families. Parents from the preschool form the Committee of Management who, with the Director and Educators, guide the preschool.
​
This means we can tailor our program to the needs and interests of our children and their families in a way that is not possible in larger, commercial centres.
We truly value our connections with our preschool families and the sense of community this builds. What families and children get out of their involvement is a preschool that:
-
prioritises high staff-to-child ratios
-
fosters local community connections
-
develops a deep knowledge and understanding of each child
-
offers a flexible, creative, holistic program in a beautiful nature-based environment.
Every year we look for new ways to make joining in and contributing to our community preschool easier. We look forward to working with you this year!
​
Dunoon Preschool Management Committee:
​
Parents and carers form our committee of management, guiding the decisions of the preschool and contributing to tasks like maintenance, fundraising, and sharing skills and knowledge with the children.
​​
Everyone is welcome to join the committee as general members, and we encourage all parents to get involved. Meetings are held twice a term, and you can come to one or come to all!Â
​
Executive committee positions are elected each year; these include President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer, and no previous experience is necessary.​​​​​

​​​​​​​​​​How else can I get involved?
​
Separate from the committee, we usually use our parent skills to help around the preschool to minimise external expenses. So, if you have skills in areas such as IT support, handyperson-ing, grant writing, policy writing, or fundraising, please get in touch!
