Board of Directors
BJEP is governed by a Board of Directors who oversee the organization’s educational philosophy, curriculum, budgeting, and ensure good governance. Participation on the board enables decision making that frames our children’s experiences, cultivates our BJEP community, and ensures generations of children will benefit from our program. We value your opinions and expertise, in whatever way you want to contribute.
