Collaborative spirit
Our board commitment requires 1-2 hours per month, including a monthly board meeting, and committee work that takes place in between. The school hosts several events for families and the community each year, and asks that board members play a small role.Organization's Approach to Diversity, Equity, Belonging, & Inclusion
Practically speaking, we offer significant financial aid to families who are not eligible for the Vermont childcare subsidies. We also enroll quite a few students through DCF. We offer educational programming that highlights children and families of many cultures, races, and ethnicities. We are seeking to expand our board to better represent the diversity of families that we serve.
