MANY EDUCATION CENTERS LACK THE NECESSARY TOOLS TO HELP BRIDGE THE 30-MILLION WORD GAP THAT EXISTS BETWEEN LOW-INCOME CHILDREN AND THEIR HIGHER-INCOME COUNTERPARTS. OUR BOOKCASE LIBRARY PROGRAM PLACES BOOKCASES FILLED WITH APPROXIMATELY 30 AGE-APPROPRIATE BOOKS IN CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTERS, STATE FUNDED PRESCHOOLS, AND ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. ALL OF THE BOOKS ARE NEW CHILDREN'S BOOKS SELECTED TO BE DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE, LANGUAGE-DIVERSE, AND CULTURALLY RELEVANT SELECTED TO SUPPORT CRITICAL THINKING, VOCABULARY, AND BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE DEVELOPMENT. BOOK LISTS REFLECT COMMON CORE AND STEAM (SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, ART, AND MATHEMATICS) CONTENT. 40874 0 0 FAMILY & EDUCATOR ENGAGEMENT - RESEARCH HAS REPEATEDLY CONFIRMED THAT FAMILY ENGAGEMENT IN A CHILD'S EARLY LEARNING SUPPORTS LATER ACADEMIC SUCCESS. AT LITERACY LAB, WE BELIEVE THAT PARENT AND CAREGIVER INVOLVEMENT IS A CRITICAL ELEMENT OF A CHILD'S DEVELOPMENT. OUR FAMILY & EDUCATOR WORKSHOP PROGRAM EDUCATES, SUPPORTS, AND ACTIVATES PARENTS, CHILDCARE PROVIDERS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, AND TEACHERS ON THE CRITICAL IMPORTANCE OF BEING INVOLVED IN A CHILD'S EARLY LEARNING AND HOW TO IMPLEMENT STRATEGIES THAT FOSTER A CHILD'S LITERACY, LANGUAGE, AND OVERALL DEVELOPMENT. WE BELIEVE THAT WHEN PARENTS, CAREGIVERS, AND SUPPORTERS GET ACTIVATED, CHILDREN ARE READY TO LEARN AND READY FOR SCHOOL AND COMMUNITIES GET STRONGER. THIS PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO REACH A CHILD'S "FIRST TEACHER"-THEIR PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS AS WELL AS SERVICE PROVIDERS AND TEACHERS. 40874 0 0 353202 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 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 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 4 0 9 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 7 6 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 CA X LITERACY LAB 5102502497 1 WEATHERLY DR APT 101 MILL VALLEY CA 94941 LAURA REED CEO 40 X X 153750 0 0 USH PATEL BOARD PRESIDENT 1 X X 0 0 0 MIKE KNYCH TREASURER 1 X X 0 0 0 LEA ANNE BORDERS SECRETARY 1 X X 0 0 0 STEVE MIDGLEY BOARD MEMBER 1 X 0 0 0 ELIZA LEIGHTON BOARD MEMBER 1 X 0 0 0 JOSHUA WRIGHT BOARD MEMBER 1 X 0 0 0 153750 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 18750 450328 0 469078 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6160 0 0 0 6160 0 6160 6160 0 0 0 1315 0 0 0 1315 1315 1315 0 0 0 609 0 609 609 0 0 0 477163 8084 0 1 155131 130494 16950 7687 129734 98683 12297 18754 1350 1350 29968 6464 23504 21937 15729 4020 2188 20126 20126 37787 19783 2896 15108 923 165 758 7177 3638 2303 1236 3598 847 2736 15 14287 14287 500 500 3152 3152 1855 1855 PROGRAM EXPENSES 78399 77399 0 1000 505924 353202 105976 46746 3595 32772 13 13 26125 58765 48765 1529 108508 108508 3152 0 91650 83079 50876 12266 62500 50000 71300 113376 133566 X -21726 -50487 0 0 -21726 -50487 91650 83079 -28761 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 1028773 966480 700867 436822 469078 3602020 1028773 966480 700867 436822 469078 3602020 1142171 2459849 131 74 57 4 1 267 4187 30300 29428 28443 6160 98518 3700805 292207 0.66468 0.81577 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 RELATED RENTAL INCOME RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 108508 108508 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 LAURA REED CEO 153750 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 153750 0 USHIRKUMAR PATEL BOARD PRESIDENT OPERATING X 50000 50000 0 1 0 50000 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 BOARD MEMBERS JOSHUA WRIGHT AND ELIZA LEIGHTON ARE MARRIED.
