EDUCARE TEACHERS EMPHASIZE THE EQUAL IMPORTANCE OF DEVELOPING CHILDREN'S PRE-LITERACY AND EARLY MATH SKILLS ALONGSIDE THEIR SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL SKILLS. WE INVOLVE FAMILIES IN THEIR CHILDREN'S DEVELOPMENT. ACTIVITIES AND INTERACTIONS AIM TO STRENGTHEN PARENTS' ABILITY TO SERVE AS CHAMPIONS FOR THEIR CHILD'S LEARNING AFTER THEY LEAVE EDUCARE AND ENTER PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOLS. A UNIQUE COMPONENT OF THE EDUCARE MODEL IS PRACTICING "CONTINUITY OF CARE," MEANING EACH CHILD STAYS WITH THE SAME TEAM OF TEACHERS FROM BIRTH TO AGE THREE. CHILDREN THEN MOVE INTO A PRESCHOOL CLASSROOM FOR STUDENTS THREE TO FIVE YEARS OF AGE WITH A DIFFERENT TEAM OF TEACHERS WHO STAY WITH THEM UNTIL THEY'RE READY TO ENTER KINDERGARTEN. THIS CONTINUITY CREATES CLOSE BONDS AMONG CHILDREN, TEACHERS, AND PARENTS, REINFORCING THE STABLE RELATIONSHIPS ESSENTIAL TO LEARNING. WE KEEP CLASS SIZES SMALL AND TEACHER-CHILD RATIOS LOW TO ENSURE INDIVIDUALIZED CARE AND INSTRUCTION FOR EVERY CHILD WHO ATTENDS OUR SCHOOL. 310360 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 9 8 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 X JEANETTE RAMOS 6022241741 2850 N 24TH STREET PHOENIX AZ 85008 GINGER WARD DIRECTOR/SWHD CEO 2.00 50.00 X X 0 241294 18857 JEANETTE RAMOS SWHD CFO 1.00 50.00 X 0 174440 24816 KAREN RAMOS BOARD CHAIR 1.00 5.00 X X 0 0 0 CHRISTOPHER THOMAS SECRETARY 1.00 1.00 X X 0 0 0 DENISE ANDRIELLO-HIGGINS DIRECTOR 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 OMAR SAIF TREASURER 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 GEORGE BARNES DIRECTOR 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JENNY MILLER DIRECTOR 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CHRISTINE NOWACZYK DIRECTOR 1.00 2.00 X 0 0 0 JESSIE RASMUSSEN DIRECTOR 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 415734 43673 0 0 1 0 0 209128 209128 22140 0 22140 22140 22140 UTILITIES REIMBURSEMENTS 900099 5472 5472 MISCELLANEOUS INCOME 900099 630 630 VENDOR REBATES 900099 166 166 6268 237536 0 0 28408 X 12338 12338 96171 75623 8214 12334 2474 2452 22 3949 3131 818 16679 15867 812 10 10 213238 213238 13017 13017 OTHER EXPENSE 446 2 444 EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE 55 47 8 TUITION AND TRAINING 16 16 GOVERNMENT FEES 10 10 358403 310360 35709 12334 235777 367124 28317 28946 25000 55000 1255 8105239 1333851 6984626 6771388 7273720 7223713 27892 98752 27892 98752 X 7110427 6928532 135401 196429 7245828 7124961 7273720 7223713 -120867 0 X X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 306880 282063 317906 197022 209128 1312999 306880 282063 317906 197022 209128 1312999 171720 1141279 -3 3600 15000 21000 22140 61737 -717 20621 6871 6268 33043 1407779 0.81070 0.81820 X SCHEDULE A, PART II, LINE 10, EXPLANATION OF OTHER INCOME: OTHER INCOME - 2021 AMOUNT: $ -717. 2022 AMOUNT: $ 20,621. 2023 AMOUNT: $ 6,871. 2024 AMOUNT: $ 6,268.
