Parent Committee

Northern Rivers & Byron Bay Preschools operate under a unique not-for-profit model that sets us apart. Our management committee, comprised of dedicated parents of enrolled preschool children, guides our vision and ensures every decision reflects our commitment to fostering a nurturing educational environment.

We embrace our role as an incorporated association, channeling any surplus resources back into enriching our services for the benefit of our young learners and their families. This business structure underscores our dedication to transparency, accountability, and the belief that every child deserves the best start in their educational journey

The management committee of the preschool is referred to as the “Approved Provider” under the Regulations.

The Approved Provider or the Management committee is responsible for the overall performance of the organisation.

The Management Committee operates under the NSW Associations Incorporation Act 2009, and the Model Constitution. Therefore, we have executive committee member roles of president, vice-president, treasurer, and secretary as well as ordinary committee members. These positions are annually elected and filled at each Annual General Meeting (AGM) in March.
