Park Lawn Preschool Inc. is a not-for-profit corporation governed by a volunteer Board of Directors consisting of parents and community members.
These meetings are only open to Directors, Supervisors and Managers, but parents can make a written request that an item or concern be added to an agenda and a written response will be sent.
All Family Members of Park Lawn Preschool Inc. are invited to the Annual General Meeting in June where the complete Audited Financial Statements are presented to interested parents and where eligible parents may be elected to vacancies in the Board of Directors.
Currently we have no vacancies on the Board. Please contact your centre supervisor or the Executive Director if you wish to submit an application to be considered for any current or future centre director vacancy.
