Governance of the ELC

The Early Learning Centre was incorporated as a registered charity in the spring of 1978. The original group of parent volunteers formed the first Board of Directors and the Centre has continued to operate with a parent/community board. Over the years, the Centre’s parent board has clearly demonstrated its ability to guide and oversee the Centre.

The Board of Directors and the Executive Director have access to a wide range of expert community advisors. These advisors are composed of members of the community with an interest in the Centre’s mission, and expertise they are willing to share. However, decision-making authority rests with the Board of Directors.
