In 2021, Childrens Choice revised our Core Values based on lessons of the pandemic. Childrens Choice Core Values:1.Safety & Beneficial Risk2.Playfulness & Positivity3.Listening4.Belonging5.Empowerment6.Community & a Culture of Care7.Lifelong LearningBased on these Core Values, Childrens Choice updated our Mission Statement. The Mission of Childrens Choice is to facilitate the positive development of children through our holistic approach to out-of-school-time programming that supports families. We create playful learning environments, caring and empowering relationships, and enriching experiences that meet the ever-changing physical, intellectual, social, and emotional needs of children. We have adopted Sociocracy as a new governance system that guides our policy development and quality-improvement efforts. This means that in addition to being organized within a legally necessary hierarchical structure for legal accountability with local, state, and federal requirements, in terms of the day-to-day operational or implementational decisions, we have adopted the Sociocratic Circle-Organization Model. What does this mean? The Principle of Consent: We make decisions following the Principle of Consent. Except as required by law and as otherwise stated in these policies, procedural decisions shall be made with the consent of circle members. Consent shall be defined as having no reasoned objections. In other words, a policy decision can only be made if no member of the circle raises an argued and paramount objection to it. Should there be a paramount objection to a decision, arguments for the objection must be given. An objection without reasoned argument will not be considered. The Principle of Circles: Childrens Choice is organized into a hierarchy of semi-autonomous, self-organizing circles that are responsible for operational decisions within their domain. A circle is a group of persons who are operationally related. Each circle has its own aim and has the authority and responsibility to execute, measure, and control its own activities and to maintain an appropriate level of knowledge and skill, overseen by the parent circle. The Principle of Double-Linking: In the hierarchical structure of circles, a lower circle is double-linked to the next higher circle by the Circle Leader and at least one additional person, belong to and participate in the decision making of the next higher circle. Circle Structure: Childrens Choice is organized into a hierarchy of double-linked circles, in the following order, from top to bottom.Board of Directors/Mission Circle: The Board of Directors shall be identical to the Mission Circle, the highest circle in a sociocratically-governed organization. The Aim of the Board/Mission Circle is to accomplish the Childrens Choice mission. All 11 school-age sites are accredited through the Council On Accreditation, designating them as 5-Star Programs in the NM CYFD Tiered Quality Rating System. 3316951 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 6 0 true 149 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 6 5 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false true true true false NM X Michael Ashcraft 5052962880 10601 Lomas Blvd NE 101 Albuquerque NM 87112 Michael Ashcraft COO 40.00 0.00 X 72904 0 9396 Chelsea Ashcraft CFO 40.00 0.00 X 67192 0 10156 Nathan Roybal President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Richard Walker Vice President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Howard Plunkett Pres Emeritus 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kathy Cade Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Natane Lim Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Erika Roesler Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 140096 19552 0 false false false 0 376929 14829 391758 Training income 611430 2000 2000 Tuition 611600 4617407 4617407 4619407 92039 92039 0 0 4900 4900 4900 4900 806 806 806 806 0 0 167 167 167 Miscellaneous income 611600 192 192 192 5109269 4619599 97912 0 0 0 0 210762 4541 206221 0 2679354 2099735 579619 51190 41161 10029 55212 42161 13051 238468 158362 80106 0 873 873 58933 58933 0 0 0 0 11622 11622 34074 34074 9104 9104 0 243098 243098 5297 4964 333 0 0 847 847 0 68509 47370 21139 51576 36682 14894 Program supplies 265615 265615 Staff recruitment and training 110457 110457 Bank and Payment Charge fees 71864 71864 Program transportation costs 51377 51377 83054 83044 10 4301286 3316951 984335 0 1628808 2415149 6000198 6073204 85955 19974 71807 0 0 0 0 15691 16102 982225 594396 378108 387829 0 0 0 0 225939 39362 8268718 9089408 296415 293737 1881 17266 298296 311003 X 5322899 8282620 2647523 495785 7970422 8778405 8268718 9089408 807983 X false true X true false X 279740 235356 47817 31864 391758 986535 4655316 3758323 3110783 8879159 4619407 25022988 0 0 0 4935056 3993679 3158600 8911023 5011165 26009523 0 0 26009523 217 223 104 11458 92039 104041 0 217 223 104 11458 92039 104041 806 806 6244 10359 2282 6694 5259 30838 4941517 4004261 3160986 8929175 5109269 26145208 0.99480 0.99790 0.00400 0.00050 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 601653 286254 315399 210771 139162 71609 169801 168980 821 387829 Right-of-use liability 17266 17266 X 5113839 4570 4570 5109269 5109269 4305856 4570 4570 4301286 4301286 Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Organization has received tax-exempt status under Code Section 50l(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
