Overview

Mission

We believe every person has potential

What it reported doing in 2024

Your child's place is a prescribed pediatric extended care center for children with complex medical needs. Our mission is to provide a child care experience enriching the children's social, emotional, and educational strengths while supporting their complex medical needs with skilled pediatric nursing. Children attending receive specialized care for short-term and long-term acute care including, but not limited to respiratory, neuromuscular, gastrointestinal, cardiac, neurological, seizures, metabolic, premature birth, cerebral palsy, and low birth weight.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and expenses are high relative to revenue.
