Overview

Mission

The organization is dedicated to providing quality, developmentally appropriate early learning, and care through a supportive environment for all children, their families, and the greater community.

What it reported doing in 2024

The organization provides early childhood education programs for infants through pre-k and after-school care. The organization's curriculum is based on in-depth knowledge of how children grow and development and provides classroom activites designed to suit the needs, interests, and development level of the children in each class. The organization also provides after- school programming, summer camp for students grades k-4, and school vacation week camps.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 92% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
