THE ASSOCIATION WORKS WITH THE ENVIROSCHOOLS FOUNDATION Children learn from real-life projects to transform their environments eg. recycling, composting, gardening. As an action-based approach to education, children plan, design and implement sustainable projects and become catalysts for change in their families and the wider community. Many primary and secondary schools partake, and we are fortunate enough to be part of this unique learning experience at early childhood level!

The Association is governed by a Board of Management elected under the rules of the Association’s Constitution. The Board consists of a Chairperson, 6 members voted on by elected representatives of member kindergartens and one teacher representative elected by the teaching staff of the Association. The CEO has a membership of the Board in an ex-officio capacity. The Board is accountable for and has control of, the management of the Association. The Board’s role is not a ‘hands-on’ management activity. The Board employs staff to fulfil the day to day management of professional tasks within the Association and to advance the educational interest of its children. Board meetings are held monthly at the Association office with no fewer than ten meetings per year.
