We Are Non-Profit
Established in 1979 by
area parents, A Growing Place Preschool is a
non-profit parent-involvement preschool devoted to preschool children
and their families.
Parent Board of Directors
The school is governed by a Board of Directors made up of
the Director of Teachers and nine participating parents
elected by the general membership. The Board establishes the
policies, procedures and maintains the setting for the
school and does the administrative functions necessary for
the operation of the school. The teaching staff carries out
the program. The Board meets monthly. The agenda and minutes
are posted on the Parent's Bulletin Board. All parents are
welcome to attend.
Becoming a Board Member
Each March a nomination committee selects the volunteer
parent board members for the following year. Parents are
invited to apply for positions that interest them. In
addition to the duties outlined for each position below,
