Overview

Mission

Focus on the development of the whole child, through partnerships between staff, family, and the community at large.

What it reported doing in 2016

The center provides day care services and maintenance to children five days a week, including educational and recreational activities and snacks for approximately 75 children.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 90% 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 most voting board members are independent. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
