Overview

Mission

Operation of a preschool

What it reported doing in 2024

The organization operates a preschool for children ages 2 1/2 to 6 years old. Approximately 94 children participate in the program, with a maximum of 84 children per day.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 94% 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 fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
