Overview

Mission

To provide a preschool program within the framework of christian beliefs, to serve the families in our community. The preschool is dedicated to promote spiritual, cognitive, physical and social development of each student which is age appropriate and offers a strong foundation for future learning and christian service.

What it reported doing in 2016

Christian teachings are taught on a daily basis, incorporating habits of christian living such as prayer, chapel, bible stories, memory verses, and sharing and caring. Learning readiness that is taught in our preschool can best be taught through music, art sensory experiences, movement, cooking, firsthand learning experiences and free play. We provide opportunities to develop spiritually, mentally and physically through (a) firsthand experiences in social relationships, (b) development of large and small muscles, (c) finding acceptable outlets for emotions, (d) stimulating experiences which encourage thinking, analysis of problems, and possible solutions and (e) learning to distinguish between reality and fantasy.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 95% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 90% 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 total spending goes to programs and expenses are high relative to revenue.
