MFLC offered comprehensive preschool services on a full-day basis operating five days a week for a total of 253 days in 2025. Our program served 34 children from 27 households accommodating them in two dedicated classrooms. Located in the Montopolis community - an area identified as a childcare desert - MFLC served families who often face significant barriers to accessing high-quality early childhood education. Through our commitment to equitable access, family partnership, and nature-based learning, MFLC provided a nurturing, bilingual learning environment where children and families can thrive. MFLC proudly maintained its Texas Rising Star Four-Star Quality Rating, the highest quality designation available in the State. This distinction reflects our commitment to excellence in early childhood education, including highly qualified educators, developmentally appropriate curriculum, strong family engagement, and continuous quality improvement. Families in our community can trust that their children are receiving the highest standard of early learning and care. Our fully bilingual program ensures that children and families are welcomed and supported in both English and Spanish. We provide culturally responsive learning materials and support parents in becoming their childs first and most important teacher. Through programs such as family literacy activities, parent engagement sessions, and take-home learning resources, MFLC helps strengthen the connection between learning at school and learning at home. Beyond the classroom, MFLC plays a critical role in stabilizing and strengthening families. We work closely with parents to connect them to essential resources including food assistance, diapers, employment referrals, and access to therapeutic services for children when needed. By welcoming outside therapists and specialists onto our campus, we help families access critical interventions without missing work or disrupting their child's learning environment. At MFLC we expanded our snack program to include daily breakfast and lunch at no charge. This relieves a significant burden on our families and ensures our students begin healthy habits now. MFLC also prioritizes access and affordability. In a city where the average cost of childcare approaches $1,900 per month, many families would otherwise be unable to participate in high-quality early education. Through our need-based tuition model and support from donors and community partners, we ensure that families contribute what they can while their children still receive exceptional care and education. Throughout 2025, MFLC continued to serve as a trusted community hub - supporting young learners, empowering parents, and building stronger families. MFLC operated the Colorado Room as a community gathering area. MFLC allowed families and charitable organizations to rent the room for community gatherings at no cost or low charge. By combining high-quality early childhood education with meaningful family support services, MFLC helps ensure that children in our community enter school confident, prepared, and ready to succeed. 450158 true true false false false false false 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 false false false false true 5 0 true 8 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 6 6 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false X Barbara Dunnam 5125519877 403 Vargas Austin TX 78703 Barbara Dunnam Executive Dir. 55.00 0.00 X 54375 0 0 Tom Grevlos Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kara Hobbs Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Veronica Marquez Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mike Riggs President 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jan Richards Vice President 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Larry Wikelius Secretary 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 54375 0 false false false 0 12280 10163 298091 320534 Child Care Services 624410 117101 117101 117101 79 79 0 0 11200 11200 11200 11200 0 12280 2796 -2796 0 0 0 446118 117101 11279 0 0 0 0 88972 64145 8492 16335 0 258961 250596 3268 5097 0 0 31999 27320 2910 1769 0 0 40336 28723 4284 7329 0 0 0 43427 5916 18755 18756 0 0 8003 7799 204 0 31971 24274 7697 0 0 1152 1062 90 0 0 4079 4079 8415 7768 647 Materials & Supplies 14435 14493 -29 -29 Childcare Meals & Snacks 6130 6130 Bank & Payment Processing Fees 3134 2988 9 137 Non-capitalized Equipment 1399 1399 4820 3466 240 1114 547233 450158 46567 50508 134061 57185 79901 69979 0 586 0 0 0 0 0 5956 209731 27092 183658 182639 0 0 0 0 0 398206 315759 2503 33079 2500 5003 33079 X 393203 282680 393203 282680 398206 315759 -101115 -9408 X false false false X 380980 301282 438026 436284 320534 1877106 0 0 380980 301282 438026 436284 320534 1877106 182118 1694988 152 177 135 6918 79 7461 0 0 1884567 370429 0.89940 0.99540 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 200323 17684 182639 9408 9408 182639 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The Board of Directors delegated authority to review and approve this Form 990 to its Finance Committee.
