Overview

Mission

To reach the highest level of early childhood excellence in our preschool setting on a daily basis, in order to glorify God, doing so by providing children and families with a nurturing, learning and happy preschool while children are away from home.

What it reported doing in 2024

Learning opportunities are designed for the whole child, preparing them socially, emotionally, physically, academically, and spiritually for a well-balanced life and a love of learning. We are an academic program meeting the cognitive development of our preschoolers to prepare children for success in their future education. Playing each day in classrooms that are designed for mastering these early-childhood skills and activities. These activities include art, music, math, language, science, dramatic play, fine and gross motor development, and active play.

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 fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
