Overview

Mission

To provide educational and therapeutic services for children from three to five years of age with significant social emotional challenges and/or developmental delays designed to promote their optimal development.

What it reported doing in 2024

Selected by the New York city department of health and mental hygiene as the citywide early childhood mental health training and technical assistance center (ttac) effective from july 1, 2021 to february 28th, 2022 and then amended to end february 28th, 2025. In this role, we provide early childhood mental health training to mental health professionals in state licensed mental health clinics and other early childhood professionals.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 82% 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. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
