Pāuatahanui Preschool was started over 30 years ago by a group of local parents. After many hours of dedicated fundraising, they purchased the old caretaker’s house which is situated on the grounds of Pāuatahanui Primary School. Today we still value the contribution parents make to the Preschool, which is reflected in the original house’s extensive renovations.
Parents are actively involved at preschool with working bees, fundraising and the Management Committee. As a parent co-operative we are fortunate to be able to re-invest all of our fees and fundraising back into the centre.
Management Committee
Our Management Committee is responsible for working together to ensure the smooth running of the Centre. The Committee consists of preschool parents that are nominated and elected at the Annual General Meeting. They meet on a monthly basis and work very closely with the teaching team across all areas involved in running the Centre. We always encourage and welcome new members.
