The Executive Director oversees the day-to-day operations of all program locations.  A volunteer Board of Directors made up of parents/guardians and community members oversees the overall operations.  Meetings are held monthly with the exception of July and August.  An Annual General Meeting is conducted yearly at which time new Board members are elected; all families are encouraged to attend.

 Rural Roots Children’s Centre operates in compliance with:

• The Child Care Early Years Act
• The Ministry of Education
• All applicable building, health, fire regulations etc.

At least once per year a Program Advisor with the Ministry of Education will make an unannounced inspection of all licensed childcare programs to ensure that:

• Ensure that provincial standards are being met
• Issue and reissue licences
• Investigate compliances
• Monitor operators who have difficulty meeting licensing standards
