Bob the Builder Playschool Introduces Parent Committee

BETTY’S ESTATE - The Bob the Builder Playschool may well be one of the only playschools on the island with a functioning Parent Committee. Officially started in November 2013, the BTB Parent Committee was established with the goals of enhancing the school in regards to its education, activities and environment, while giving parents the opportunity to volunteer and assist the people who have a direct impact on their child's development; the teachers and Director.

In 2006 Charlotte Jacob took over as the new owner and Director of Bob the Builder and has made many strides in improving the overall quality of education provided. An immensely dedicated and caring Manager, Director Jacob realized last year that it was only fitting that the school create a formal parent committee to assist in further strengthening Bob the Builder’s progress.

President of the Parent Committee Ludmila York-Duncan noted that ‘starting a parent committee was easy with the dedicated parents we had. Many of us have access to resources that could improve the quality of education and care our children receive at Bob the Builder and so working on this committee means contributing not only to the institution itself but also to the development of our children. And nothing is more important than our children.’

The Bob the Builder Parent Committee’s managing board includes President Ludmila York-Duncan, Vice President Donna Reid and Secretary Erika Richardson. In addition to the managing board, there are a number of important subcommittees namely Education, Events and Building and Grounds made up by fellow committee members Janale Nisbett, Shanell James, Justin Rosen, Dianne Ignacio and Everonique Levenstone.

A few of the Parent Committee’s goals for the end of 2014 include the construction of a garden to teach the children about agriculture and the hosting of a family fun day and toy drive to raise funds for the school.
