Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (3)
  1. $312,310 spent. Therapeutic Early Childhood Program (TECP) The TECP combines the Wobbler and Toddler classrooms, serving children ages 1-3 in a therapeutic, relationship-based setting. With a low child-to-teacher ratio, teachers focus on social-emotional growth, sensory exploration, and early literacy. Parents receive home visits that emphasize goal-setting, reducing stress, and increasing resiliency through connections with community partners. Staff also help families transition into preschool, Head Start, or other programs to prepare for kindergarten. This program represents the largest share of organizational time and resources and provides the foundation for preventing abuse and neglect while promoting long-term child success.
  2. $168,167 spent. Outreach/Home Visiting The Outreach Program offers monthly home visits for families who may not be able to attend center-based services. Home visitors provide child development activities, parenting support, and crisis resources. Families also receive access to optional monthly respite care and the Care Closet for diapers, wipes, and basic essentials. By addressing family stressors, offering short-term relief, and linking to services such as housing and health supports, Outreach helps families build resiliency and strengthens protective factors. Meeting families in their homes ensures access to support even when barriers like transportation or schedules prevent classroom participation.
  3. $11,014 spent. Family Support Services Family Support combines the Diaper Distribution Program, Waves of Change, and the Care Closet. Families receive free diapers, wipes, and other essentials to reduce financial strain and support child health. Waves of Change addresses large, urgent needs-such as washers/dryers, tires, or utility assistance-that, if unmet, would create significant barriers to family stability. These one-time supports prevent crises from escalating and give parents the capacity to focus on their children's well-being. Together, these services reduce stress, build resiliency, and directly strengthen protective factors that keep children safe and families thriving.
