​The current board members are:

In addition to the Board, there is a Parent Advisory Committee (PAC). The PAC was developed to involve families in our children’s educational program. The PAC coordinates activities and organize resources to help children, parents and the center’s staff make the strong connection between home and the center. If you are interested in joining the PAC, or for more information about the PAC, please contact Sarah Oberlander.
