Kaleen Preschool Parent Association

History
Kaleen Preschool Parent Association began in 1975.

Building Community
Preschools in the Act are jointly provided through a unique and positive collaboration between each individual Preschool Parent Association and the ACT Government.

The Preschool Parent Association owns and is completely responsible for the provision and management of the preschool's teaching and educational resources and for the day-to-day financial and operational management of preschool. The ACT Government through the Department of Education and Training provide the excellent teaching staff and purpose-built facilites.

All parents with enrolled children automatically become members of the Preschool Parent Association.

Children from Kaleen Preschool may go on to attend either Kaleen Primary School or St Michael's Catholic Primary School.

Strengthening the Preschool Community
Your participation is valued enormously. There are many ways that you can support your child’s preschool education.

• Offering to help in the class on a roster basis with small group activities, craft, reading to the children, cooking.
• Participating on the laundry roster once or twice a term.
  
• Excursions – for all excursions we are required to have 1 adult per 4 children. This means for each excursion we need at least 5 parents to accompany us. In full support of the early childhood family environment - the Parent Association arranges for personal accident insurance for your and your preschooler's younger siblings to participate in these exciting adventures!
• Sharing special skills and interests, playing an instrument, pottery, carpentry.
• Making the mutually agreed voluntary resourcing donation or participating in the fund-raising.
  
• Getting together the rest of the preschool community at the monthly meetings - Keep up to date with what is happening at preschool and be a part of the decision making on how your contributions and fundraising are spent.
• Nominating to be a part of the Parent Association Committee.
