RCMA's inclusion of children with disabilities, beginning with infants and toddlers, has been recognized as a model within Florida.RCMA, the largest single provider of child-care services in Florida, now offers preschool services in 20 rural communities. Like other children RCMA serves, most of those enrolled speak English as a second language, if at all. With a mission of hiring staff and teachers from the communities served, RCMA already employs a majority of bilingual staffers. Many of our employees are former migrant farm workers who acquired their child development credentials, family development credentials, associate's degrees or bachelor's degrees after joining RCMA.Serving a large migrant population, plus other year-round farm and low-income families, RCMA offers the 540-hour VPK program option during the academic year. This way, even though some children arrive late and leave early, they still receive the required coursework, which is essential to their success later in kindergarten and elementary school. We have strong partnerships with Head Start, Florida's Office of Early Learning, local Early Learning Coalitions, the Mexican Consulates in Orlando and Miami, Florida agriculture, community-based organizations and school districts. More than half of RCMA's childcare centers have been nationally accredited, reflecting standards and achievements that exceed state licensing requirements. 42912391 Head Start, Early Head Start and Migrant Head Start are comprehensive child-development programs that serve pregnant women, children from birth to age 5 and their families. The programs strive to increase the school readiness of young children in low-income families.Key to the success of RCMA in preparing young children for public school is its mission to hire staff and teachers from the communities served. Most of our staff is bilingual, and many are former migrant farm workers, including our Interim Executive Director and Director of Farmworker Advocacy. Head Start nationally evolved from a task force recommendation in 1964 for the development of a federally sponsored preschool program to meet the needs of disadvantaged children, Head Start now offers programs geared for children 3 to 5 years old. Early Head Start provides programs for infants and toddlers, newborns to 3 years.Responding to the unique season needs of migrant farm workers, Migrant and Seasonal Head Start was created in 1969 and serves newborns to 5 year olds. Head Start is a program within the Administration on Children, Youth and Families in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which awards grants to RCMA to provide these services. 7332382 RCMA operates three charter schools (public schools of choice), the Immokalee Community School in eastern Collier County, the Wimauma Academy, and the Leadership Academy in southeastern Hillsborough County, which provide a unique opportunity for RCMA to extend its positive impact on children. The schools provide a seamless transition for children as they progress from RCMA's early childhood and pre-kindergarten programs into elementary school and middle school in Hillsborough County. Test results confirm that the longer students remain with RCMA, the better they perform in school. Our children's improvement between kindergarten and third grade on reading assessments, for example,is dramatic. When one considers that many of our students are tested in their second language, their accomplishments are quite impressive.The academic focus is the improvement of language and math using a thematic and integrative approach, which immerses students in an enriched environment that reflects the complexities of life. The results include improved language, academics and literacy, increased self-esteem and desirable social skills. The Wimauma Academy (kindergarten through fifth) and the Immokalee Community School (kindergarten through sixth grade) were originally chartered in 2000. A third charter school was added in 2012-2013 in Hillsborough County, The Leadership Academy (sixth through eighth). Wimauma Academy and Leadership Academy Schools consolidated and a 10 charter year was renewed to 2030. Immokalee Community School is renewing its charter in 2021 and adding 7 & 8th grade. 3889542 26000 FOOD SERVICE PROGRAM - TO PROVIDE BASIC FOOD AND NUTRITION FOR ALL CHILDREN SERVED IN OUR CENTERS.IMMIGRATION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM Over 80% of the families RCMA serves are employed in the agricultural sector. A significant percentage of those families migrate and the majority are foreign-born. All of our families are significantly impacted by immigration policy and enforcement. RCMA has developed a multi-faceted immigration support program that builds on existing programs and services. RCMA's immigration program includes leadership training and development, advocacy, immigration support services and public education campaigns. Other Programs:COMMUNITY LEARNING CENTERSRCMA's Community Learning Centers strive to bring free or affordable quality education to rural low-income communities using technology and caring, culturally sensitive teachers and tutors.Through Community Learning Centers, RCMA provides basic education services to adults who have not completed their basic education studies, either in U.S. schools or in Mexico. The Community Learning Centers provide three levels of studies -- literacy (basic reading and writing), primary (elementary) and secondary (middle school) - and accredits students according to the standards set by the Ministry of Public Education in Mexico. Students also can earn their Florida general equivalency diploma.OUT OF SCHOOL SERVICESRCMA provides out of school services to approximately 500 school age children. These services are provided in several counties in partnership with the Hillsborough County School district, the Homestead Housing Authority and RCMA charter schools. The primary components of the services provided include, tutoring, homework help, leadership development and recreational activities. TEEN PARENT PROGRAMWhen a teenager becomes pregnant, both she and her baby face even greater challenges at home and school. Key goals of RCMA's Teen Parent program are to educate and support the teen mothers to be and promote job skills that will help them achieve financial independence. RCMA staff also works closely with collaborating agencies to assure pregnant teens receive prenatal and post-partum services, and provides quality child care for newborns of high school students. 3889542 26000 68226367 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 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 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 2116 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 30 30 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 FL X X X X GILBERT FLORES DIRECTOR OF FINANCE 2396583560 402 W MAIN STREET IMMOKALEE FL 341423933 MEDORA KROME PRESIDENT 1.00 X 0 0 0 LARRY SALUSTRO VICE PRESIDENT 1.00 X 0 0 0 LINDA MILES-ADAMS VICE PRESIDENT 1.00 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL T BAYER VICE PRESIDENT 1.00 X 0 0 0 JAIME WEISINGER VICE PRESIDENT 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOAQUIN PEREZ VICE PRESIDENT 1.00 X 0 0 0 SANDRA HIGHTOWER VICE PRESIDENT 1.00 X 0 0 0 RICHARD PRINGLE SECRETARY 1.00 X 0 0 0 WILLIAM FERRARI TREASURER 1.00 X 0 0 0 DONNA GAFFNEY BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 WILMA ROBLES DE MELENDEZ PH D BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 BARBARA MAINSTER ROLLASON BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 AL J HINSON BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANSBERTO VALLEJO BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 GLORIA KENDRICK BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 MINERVA JAIMES BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 DANI HIGGINS BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 FRITZ ROKA BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 CLAUDIA LANDEROS PARENT BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 CLAUDIO JOSE PARENT BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 EMIG DE LA CRUZ PARENT BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 REFUGIO VILLEDA PARENT BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 ERIK MARTINEZ PARENT BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 KANTA ALLEN PARENT BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 HIEDI WHITE PARENT BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 CARRIE JOHNSON PARENT BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 FANNIE FAIR PARENT BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARIA PINA PARENT BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 ISABEL GARCIA VARGAS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 50.00 X 145201 0 0 GILBERT FLORES DIRECTOR OF FINANCE 50.00 X 127302 0 0 MARIA AZUCENA QUINTANILLA DIRECTOR OF HUMAN RESOURCE 50.00 X 111562 0 0 MICHAEL R FACUNDO DIRECTOR OF FACILITIES/FLEET 50.00 X 104995 0 0 489060 0 0 4 0 0 0 AVON PARK COMMUNITY DAY CARE 800 soUTH delaney AVON PARK FL 33825 child care services 414474 CHILD CARE OF SW FLORIDA 6831 PALISADES PARK COURT SUITE 6 FT MYERS FL 33912 CHILD CARE SERVICES 341275 ZOMMA GROUP LLP 355 ALHAMBRA CIRCLE SUITE 1100 CORAL GABLES FL 33134 AUDITING 142500 3 228189 76655015 76883204 Child Care Fees 624410 543493 543493 543493 16668 16668 240007 53892 186115 186115 186115 604804 0 604804 604804 604804 6425 228189 7355 -930 -930 OTHER REVENUE 624100 167286 167286 167286 78400640 543493 186115 787828 26000 26000 496495 466821 29674 44479512 41411415 2906888 161209 1052177 937623 108217 6337 5241655 4928891 303759 9005 4650348 4305863 326199 18286 420578 141986 278592 5612283 4913515 697761 1007 365622 260515 94484 10623 819596 743034 74089 2473 162550 162550 2825126 1456739 1368387 UNRELATED BUSINESS INCO 38150 38150 SUPPLIES 2154420 2035586 117738 1096 CONTRACTED SERVICES 1834802 1834802 FOOD 1521317 1521317 4548196 3709081 711657 127458 76248827 68226367 7655292 367168 2174590 3452777 479478 506227 3950161 6702119 506953 635496 825043 855881 63469315 44165178 20446566 19304137 125000 125000 3507043 5179807 32014834 36761444 8976815 11954391 5734447 5327124 14711262 17281515 X 9925330 11609535 7378242 7870394 17303572 19479929 32014834 36761444 2151813 24544 0 X X 0 0 0 X 63764242 69651184 67436036 70352449 76883205 348087116 63764242 69651184 67436036 70352449 76883205 348087116 348087116 13180 13133 38097 47975 16668 129053 43387 182666 99182 325235 38397 188615 983773 248431 167286 1626502 350167906 4407045 0.99410 0.99440 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 2015749 2015749 61453566 44165178 17288388 19304137 CASH-SINKING FUND 930145 BUILDING AND UTILITY DEPOSITS 62018 cash set aside for future use 4187644 5179807 X 80749549 2892465 61248 2953713 77795836 604804 604804 78400640 79202540 2892465 61248 2953713 76248827 0 76248827 Part X, Line 2: RCMA is organized as a not-for-profit organization and is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code. However, income from certain activities not directly related to the Organization's tax-exempt purpose is subject to taxation as unrelated business income. Income taxes for such unrelated business income approximated $38,000 and $38,000 in 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Organization's information returns filed with the Internal Revenue Service have not been examined in the past. The Organization is not aware of any uncertainties that could jeopardize its not-for-profit status. Therefore, no provision or liability for income taxes is deemed necessary. RCMA follows the provisions of uncertain tax positions addressed by FAS ASC 740-10 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. RCMA has no uncertain tax positions at June 30, 2020, for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. The Organization recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expense, if applicable. RCMA has determined that no amount is required to be accrued for taxes or related penalties and interest for any tax position taken through June 30, 2020.
