We provided early learning services at a reduced rate to 28 children from families that qualified for county assistance programs; that's 11% of all the families we served in 2014.Approximately 38% of the population SonShine Learning Center served in 2014 was made up of families from ethnic and racial minority groups.Instead of closing Central Baptist Child Development Center, Central Baptist Church accepted SonShine Learning Center's invitation to help renovate and run the center. As a result, services for over 40 children avoided cancellation, seven full-time and two part-time staff retained employment. We invested $24,334 in the following contributions to the program:-installed new flooring, -replaced ceiling tiles, -painted walls, -painted five murals, -installed new cabinets,-renovated all rooms,-hired contractors to add an additional classroom,-built two four-seater customized infant eating stations,-and created new system to track county assistance program eligibility.SonShine Learning Center purchased the land and buildings where it's initial learning center has been located since it's start in 2003 at 680 Highway 110, Mendota Heights, MN. In addition to our own ministry, we hosted two congregations at that site: Mendota Heights United Church of Christ, and Aliento de Vida. Financial Assistance Program: The organization has a safety net in place for enrolled families who experience financial difficulty. 1110480 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 4 0 1 46 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 7 6 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 MN X X Rev Connie McCallister 6519941945 680 Highway 110 Mendota Heights MN 55118 James Nicklas President 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Bridget Holmen Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Annie Gibson Parent Rep 1.00 X 0 0 0 Carrie Koenigsberger Parent Rep 1.00 X 0 0 0 Marie Baker Site Director 40.00 X 0 0 0 Anna Ney Site Director 40.00 X 36001 0 868 Nathan McCallister Financial Director 40.00 X 38425 0 868 Connie McCallister Executive Director 40.00 X X 35604 0 477 110030 0 2213 0 0 0 0 0 4185 9650 13835 Program revenue - pres 900099 1333708 1333708 1333708 139 139 0 4185 2911 -2911 -2911 Miscellaneous revenue 900099 30561 30561 30561 1375332 1333708 0 27789 110030 98956 11074 707932 636683 71249 5732 5732 57504 51717 5787 966 966 7316 7316 78251 67364 10887 12336 6936 5400 71224 48611 22613 3838 3838 64283 64283 24790 23845 945 10457 10457 Food and beverages 63928 41041 22887 Repairs and maintenance 26642 26642 Program supplies 11054 2708 8346 Miscellaneous 9231 8143 1088 6063 5242 821 1271577 1110480 161097 0 24795 59924 22117 1190 53982 1323617 31754 63649 1291863 110561 1406959 69420 178136 1026679 0 1274235 X 110561 132724 110561 132724 110561 1406959 103755 24000 -105592 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 590549 590549 664870 20660 644210 42609 945 41664 11889 5785 6104 13700 4364 9336 1291863 X 1399332 24000 24000 1375332 0 1375332 1271577 0 1271577 0 1271577 Part X, Line 2: The Organization is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and Minnesota Statute 290.05.
