Overview

Mission

Faa/dot child development center exists to provide a wide range of quality services to federal employees and other people in the community.

What it reported doing in 2024

The center is designed to provide a developmental program to foster the physical, social, emotional, and intellectual growth of young children. Space has been designed and the staff selected with the goal of providing an enriching environment. Although the program is not designed as an academic preschool, the children will be offered age-appropriate learning opportunities as described in the curriculum. Parents are expected to participate in the ongoing activities of the center.

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 - 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 program spending has declined or grown slowly.
