Established on the 7th of July, in 1943, the Canberra Pre-School Society Incorporated (formerly the Canberra Nursery Kindergarten Society) has assisted 100's of thousands of parents and thousands of early childhood educators in very practical ways. Often operating "behind the scenes" - the CPS is made up of parent volunteer members - supported by a single part time salaried Executive Officer. The CPS is a parent-driven entity. One that has worked hard to ensured that Canberra's Government Preschool Program remains - affordable, accessible, equitable and of an outstanding quality - not seen anywhere else in Australia. If your child is enrolled in preschool this year - be sure to participate in the Preschool Parent Association and to attend the CPS General Meetings. This ensures that your PARENT voice is heard across Canberra, at Government and Departmental executive levels and, where appropriate, nationally. Want to make a lasting difference for your own AND every ACT preschool child? As a parent-driven entity - the CPS cannot operate without it's Council. In fact, the CPS Council is the ONLY territory-wide parent voice in pre-school education in Canberra. A voice that speaks directly to the Education Minister and the Chief Executive Officer of the ACT Department of Education and Training! PLUS - The term of office is for only for a single year! MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD! Be at the CPS Annual General Meeting on the 2nd Tuesday of March at 7:30pm and stand for a CPS Council position!
