Overview

Mission

We were a nonprofit 501c3 that employed 4 college educated and qualified staff members to serve between 20 and 36 preschoolers.

What it reported doing in 2024

We provided a rich environment for preschoolers aged 3-6 as they prepared for kindergarten. Program services paid for 4 part time salaries, curriculum materials, toys and games, daily healthy snacks, supplies for daily art projects, adp costs, insurance, phone, rent, etc.

Operating model

Revenue model: Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
