St. Catherine’s Childcare Society is a
non-profit Society.
To maintain our status as a non-profit
organization we are required to hold an Annual General Meeting. As parents, you
are all members of the Society and you are expected to attend, and we are counting
on your support to do so. The preschool is only able to apply for Government
Grants, Municipal Grants and other sources of funding because it is a
non-profit organization.
If you have any questions, comments or
concerns please do not hesitate to contact Tina or Marion in the Preschool
