Board of Directors
ABC Preschool is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization proudly guided by a dedicated, volunteer Board of Directors. Our board is made up of parents who generously give their time, talents, and energy to help our preschool grow and thrive.
As a parent-led organization, our families are at the heart of what we do. Board members work closely with our teachers, staff, and preschool community to support the day-to-day needs of the school, plan for its future, and help create a welcoming environment for every family.
We are grateful for the parents who step into these leadership roles and share their unique skills and perspectives. Their commitment helps make ABC Preschool more than just a school—it’s a community built by families, for families.
Meet the parents who help make it all possible!
