To provide an educational/developmental program for children of registered degree students at lehman college during times of regularly scheduled college classroom instruction in order that students with child care responsibilities may pursue their educational program at lehman college.

What it reported doing in 2024

The organization is dedicated to providing childcare services primarily to the children of students parents attending lehman college. Spaces are also available for faculty/staff not to exceed 10% of current enrollment or displace a student parent at any time. The center serves children ages 2-5 in the preschool program and children 5-12 in the afterschool program. The center was open 218 days in the fiscal year ended june 30, 2025 and served approximately 68 children. The center has the capacity to serve up to 80 preschools and 20 afterschools (full-time equivalent) at a given time. The hours of operation during the fall and spring terms are from 7:30 am to 9:30 pm. Preschool programs are from 7:30am to 5:30pm and afterschool programs are from 3:30pm to 9:30pm.

Operating model

Revenue model
Investment-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from recurring investment income.
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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and most filed governance safeguards are in place. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
