St. Thomas Early Learning Centre is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors who operate under a Policy Governance model. This framework ensures clear accountability, strong strategic direction, and sound decision-making.

About Policy Governance

Policy Governance separates the Board’s role from daily management. The Board focuses on setting the organization’s vision, values, and long-term outcomes, while daily operations are managed by the Executive Director and leadership team.

Role of the Board of Directors

• Sets the vision and mission for the Centre
• Establishes policies and strategic priorities
• Monitors the Executive Director’s performance
• Ensures the Centre’s legal, ethical, and financial accountability
• Represents the best interests of children and families served by the Centre

Our Commitment

The Board of Directors is dedicated to ensuring St. Thomas Early Learning Centre provides high-quality, accessible, and inclusive childcare programs for our community.
