Overview

Mission

Nonprofit pre-school.

What it reported doing in 2024

To provide a nonprofit co-op pre school.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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. Liabilities are high compared with assets and the available information about grant readiness state registration leaves an important question unanswered.

Key Signals

Signals prioritize questions for review. They are not findings of misconduct.

Grant-readiness screening is separate from the live rating, not a measure of program quality. Review the source records before making a grant decision.

  • High — Sustainability: Liabilities to assets ratio scored 18/100.
  • Review — Grant Readiness: California registration: this organization could not be resolved against the register, so the check is unfinished.
