Overview

Mission

To provide pre-school education in a nurturing, caring environment using the Montessori philosophy.

What it reported doing in 2024

Classroom instruction for children aged 2 years to 6 years of age. Program of 2, 3 or 5 days per week with AM and PM session available to meet the needs of parent and child.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 99% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
