Overview
Mission
To strengthen the foundation of the community through programs, services, and relationships that build a healthy spirit, mind and body and to build strong kids, strong families and strong communities.
What it reported doing in 2025
Day care: the goal is to promote childrens social, emotional, physical and intellectual development while meeting the needs of families. We support efforts to nurture the healthy growth of the child with safe, affordable, high-quality care so parents can have peace of mind while at work to help their family succeed. Our use of primary care givers for infants encourages open communication between the caregiver and the parent and helps bridge the gap between home and the care center. In an age appropriate environment, experienced staff provide developmentally appropriate programs for each individual group. Our curriculum is based on the interests and needs of the children and promotes emotional, social, physical and cognitive development. In 2025 we provided $3,529 in financial assistance.

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 83% 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
