Overview

Mission

Create an educational environment where children can explore their creativity and nurture social development skills.

What it reported doing in 2024

In 2024 Chandlers Preschool continued to fulfill its mission of providing high-quality early childhood education and care to the community. Our organization delivered consistent play-based learning programs, expanded outdoor educational activities, and maintained enhanced safety and sanitation practices thoughout the year. We supported staff through ongoing professional development to ensure compliance with early childhood best-practice standards. Chandlers Preschool also strengthened family engagement through scheduled parent meetings and community events. These activities reflect our continued provision of educational and childcare services as a nonprofit/childcare organization during the 2024 fiscal year.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
