Many of them are from low income, working poor homes that often have only one parent. The majority of the children are funded by the Department of Economic Security and many are also placed with us by Child Protective Services, sometimes coming from parents who are involved with drugs or incarcerated for illegal activities. We are a childcare center and preschool based on Christian principles. Our intent is to make a difference in the lives of children placed in our care. We strive to be a positive influence in helping them grow into responsible citizens. We are licensed as a child care facility by the office of child care licensure, which is part of the Arizona Department of Health. 847207 true false false false false false false false false false true false false false 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 false false true 0 0 63 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 4 3 false false false false false false false true true false false false true true true true true true false false X Nichole Willard 6025761342 3301 N 32nd St Phoenix AZ 85018 Mercier Willard President 40.00 X 52000 0 0 Jeffrey Proper Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mark Ponte Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Chuck Hoover Officer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 52000 0 0 false false false 711254 51025 762279 Parent Payments 624410 330358 0 0 330358 296 0 296 1092933 330358 0 296 757338 515116 242222 0 1444 1444 0 0 59680 40895 18785 0 15781 15393 388 0 4357 0 4357 0 26035 2217 23818 0 15731 15370 361 0 122479 119219 3260 0 13578 0 13578 0 5411 5411 0 0 1717 0 1717 0 41443 31292 10151 0 23445 22907 538 0 Field Trips 2208 2208 0 0 Classroom Supplies 11466 11466 0 0 Food Material and Supplies 61233 61233 0 0 Other Staffing Expenses 5488 734 4754 0 4934 2302 2632 0 1173768 847207 326561 0 82351 52185 1344 70 6430 4822 493505 122336 412615 371169 502740 428246 45881 52226 45881 52226 X 456859 376020 456859 376020 502740 428246 X -80835 -4 X false false false X 0 0 806192 1091429 921075 765363 762279 4346338 88788 251680 315143 310990 330358 1296959 0 0 894980 1343109 1236218 1076353 1092637 5643297 3000 3000 0 3000 3000 5640297 420 295 296 1011 420 295 296 1011 5644308 0.99930 0.99710 0.00020 0.00010 X 393327 72184 321143 59344 28575 30769 40834 21577 19257 371169 Credit Cards Payable 8611 Garnishments Payable 110 Revenue Overpayment 43654 Payroll liabilities -150 Rounding 1 52226 Pt VI, Line 11b Organization President reviews Form 990 before filing.
