Responsibility, Functions and Duties of the Management Committee

The elected committee is responsible to the members of the association for the proper management and conduct of the affairs of the association. A major concern and responsibility of the committee of a kindergarten association must be to ensure that their decisions and actions are at all times taken in the light of the best interests and welfare of the children attending the centre.

Some of the functions and duties arising from this responsibility are:

  • To ensure that appropriate staff are employed at all times.
  • To ensure the proper maintenance of the building, grounds and equipment.
  • To ensure that proper control is maintained over the finances of the association not only for the present but also with the future in mind.
  • To be aware of the needs of the community within which the centre operates and ensure that this knowledge is reflected in its decisions.
  • To encourage active parent and general community participation in the activities of the association and to ensure that the community is aware of what the association is doing.
  • To initiate fund-raising and social activities so as to foster a close relationship between the centre and homes.
  • To have an understanding of the centre programme and its benefits for the children and attempt to foster a general awareness of these aspects in the community.
  • To be aware of and ensure the regular review of the constitution and any by-laws, regulations and policies so that these are appropriate to the current situation.
  • A willingness to learn about the centre and its operation.

Since the committee is representing all the members of the association it is highly desirable that its decisions and actions always have regard to the best interests of the majority of members of the association. Failure to do so may well lead to conflict within the association.

Fundraising Committee

As a community Kindergarten, the OLR Kindergarten needs to supplement fees paid by parents with fundraising. The funds so raised are used to develop our centre in accordance with an agreed plan with C&K. A fundraising committee needs to be established every year and we encourage as many parents as possible to become involved.
