Overview

Mission

To provide an affordable quality early learning child development program for all children and families with infants through 12 years of age.

What it reported doing in 2024

Woodland Childcare Development services children from 3 months to 12 years of age. Providing early head start, Pre-K, and kindergarten, as well as aftercare for our school age children. We serviced anywhere from 140 - 190 children within the school year of 2024.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

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 some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
