Guiding Principles:
A Message to Our Community
Acting in the best interests of children. Support for families. Respect for the values and cultures of families.
Appropriate input from children. Appropriate involvement of children.
The year 2003 marks the tenth year since its organization that the Saskatoon Preschool Foundation has
worked toward helping children in this community!
We are proud of that.
Vision Statement: We see all preschool children having opportunities for a better future and becoming
successful participants in society. We see quality preschool programs diminishing the impact of poverty
on children and families and on our community. As a
result of increased parent participation in preschool
programs, we see greater support for children’s education. We see preschool programs expanding as
needs are identified and as finances become available.
Highlights in 2003 include a significant increase in the
number of families who applied for preschool tuition
subsidy assistance. As a result, children from approximately 100 families were able to attend preschool.
The cost of this totaled more than $32,000.
Mission Statement: To advocate for and support
access to quality preschool programs for Saskatoon
children.
Thanks to your donations, this expense was covered!
Issues to be overcome include greater promotion of
the Foundation so that more people are aware of our
programs. As well, more attention to importance of
preschool is required.
The Foundation is important to the Saskatoon community. Likewise, the many donors and partners listed later in this report are important to the
Foundation!

was established to keep abreast of the needs of preschool children in the city.

December meeting of the Board to provide an update

recreation, daycare, libraries and education. Brian
and Loretta reviewed the research process and highlighted findings for the Saskatoon component of the
research.
The Executive Director, President, and Vice President
met with the Directors of each of the School Divisions
to highlight the work of the Saskatoon Preschool
Foundation and to discuss ways that the Foundation
could be responsive to the needs of families with preschool children in Saskatoon.
