Overview
Mission
Starr-King Parent-Child Workshop is a cooperative parent education and early childhood program. We work, play and learn as a community to nurture children and families.
What it reported doing in 2024
Cooperative preschool serving 30+ families. Family members participate in school operations and attend learning sessions.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 68% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
