Overview

Mission

Provide childcare and educational programs to children ages 6 months to 12 years.

What it reported doing in 2025

Operate a licensed child development center that serves youth aged newborn to 12 years, with an integrated preschool.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 77% 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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
