Overview
Mission
The goal of st. Paul's plus is to provide a program to promote the growth - emotionally, socially, physically, and intellectually of each child at his or her own pace. Every effort is made to identify and fulfill the individual needs of each child so that he or she may realize his or her full potential. At the heart of the program is the knowledge that children need to feel safe and loved in order to reach out to the world around them. By demonstrating a positive, loving environment, our teachers help children build a bond of trust and care that forms a foundation for life-long learning.
What it reported doing in 2018
Our program strives to offer a balanced approach to academics and play. We recognize that children learn by doing and interacting with their environment and use a multi-sensory approach to introducing new concepts to children. The program served 135 children during the year.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 99% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 98% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and assets have declined or grown slowly.
