Our Board of Directors is comprised of parent volunteers. Members commit to a variety of term-lengths and responsibilities during board service. 

The mission of the Board is to:

  • Ensure that the children attending Robin's Nest Children's Center receive high quality child care

  • Provide leadership in all aspects of running the business of the Center

  • Advocate for policies that encourage diversity among the children and families attending the Center

  • Educate themselves and assist the staff of the Center about the developmental needs of children and the benefits of providing high quality child care

  • Serve as a liaison between the Center and the community in which we live to promote the center and the necessity of quality child care
