Committee
Mulbarton Children’s Centre has a parent-run committee which needs your help!
What is the purpose of a Pre School Committee?
The pre-school parent led committee is responsible for the overall management and smooth running of the setting. This can mean anything from organising a fundraising event to negotiating with the parish council. The committee is the employer of staff in the pre-school and so has overall responsibility for recruiting, training and developing staff, paying their salaries and managing their contracts.
What is there in it for new parents?
Research shows clear benefits for children when parents become actively involved in their child’s learning and developing. Volunteering for the committee offers an ideal opportunity to be more involved. Parents also find benefits for themselves including meeting other parents, updating skills and learning new ones, as well as putting something back into the local community.
