We operate as a community, where our members play an active part in their child’s/children’s learning by contributing to the smooth running of Kids at Play and become involved. This includes some of the following:
- Joining our Parent Governance Committee,
- Attending the Annual General Meeting (AGM),
- Attending parent - teacher evenings,
- Participating in working bees; and
- Attending fun social events three times per year.
By enrolling your child at Kids at Play, you are joining the Society and agree to abide by its Regulations. A copy of the Regulations is available in the parents’ area.
The Parent Governance Committee is made up of parents/guardians of children enrolled at Kids at Play. Members are elected annually at the AGM. The committee requires parents willing to give their time in any capacity, and specific roles include:
- President
- Vice President
- Secretary
- Treasurer
- Grounds & Maintenance
- Social Committee Liaison
The Committee has an appointed Manager who is the professional leader and has overall responsibility for the day-to-day operations of the centre.
Centre Social Events
As a community we have annual social events organised by the centre parent social committee.
Why do we have social events?
We have found that parents pass through the daycare dropping off children and picking them up at the end of the day often not getting to know the other parents of our amazing community based daycare centre!! Therefore we organise three events a year that allow parents to get together and to get to know each other better. As a small aside we will also run some small fundraising as a part of the events to support the centre with those special resources.
The centre operates as an Incorporated Society and a registered charity (a non-profit early learning centre governed by a parent Management Committee). As part of the Social committee we will continually improve the environment and tools available to our children and the staff. We will confirm up dates for each event as it draws closer – look out for posters in KAP and flyers in your parent pocket. All events are open to the wider friends and family of KAP, the more the merrier!
The social committee is always keen to have more volunteers to help organise events, contribute to the auctions and to add to the conviviality of each of the events, so please let us know if you are keen to help out.
