We bring together and strengthen families, cultivating conditions for children to succeed in life. (Continued on Schedule O) 0 0 4825396 105507 Early Education: Westside Children's Center's early education programs, which leverage base funding from three California Department of Education contracts as well as two Early Head Start contracts, provide high-quality, year-round early education for more than 500 children ages 0 to 5 from very-low-income families. We provide services at our state-of-the-art early education center, through our network of licensed home-based education providers, and in individual family homes. WCC maintains a low staff-to-child ratio in our inclusive, bilingual classrooms to ensure every child's healthy social-emotional, cognitive, and physical development. (See Sch. O)Our highly-qualified educators, child development specialists, and education managers design developmentally-appropriate and individualized lessons with a social-emotional, STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math), and literacy focus, and deepen their skills with regular professional development. Children receive a healthy breakfast, lunch, and snack and spend time exploring in our learning garden and STEM yard. Parent engagement is key to children's success, so WCC nurtures relationships with parents, partnering with them to support their children's learning and growth through frequent volunteer opportunities, free classes, parent counseling, and access to our comprehensive services. 1362984 Child Welfare: Westside Children's Center has four contracts with the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) to provide Family Preservation, Prevention and Aftercare, and Foster and Adoption services to more than 600 families annually. Our highly trained staff works with families to protect children who have been (or who are at risk of being) abused or neglected by providing individual and family counseling, substance abuse treatment, mental health services, domestic violence psychoeducational counseling, parent-child education, and extensive case management. We also recruit, train, and support loving foster and foster-adoptive parents who create nurturing, educationally rich homes for children of all ages. 627696 Westside Children's Center provides children and families in our programs with an array of vital, integrated supports, including semiannual disabilities screenings and special needs advocacy, pediatric mental health consultations, trauma screening and intervention, dental, vision, and hearing screenings, bilingual parenting and child development classes, and access to our full time public health nurses. We also connect families with other organizations in our robust network of community partners, including Venice Family Clinic, St. Joseph Center, Safe Place for Youth, and Miriam's Hose. WCC's dual-generational approach ensures all children grow up with the foundation to succeed in life and in school. 6816076 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 82 0 1 111 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 19 19 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA X X Accounting Department 3108464100 5721 W Slauson Avenue 140 Culver City CA 90230 Marianna Fisher Chairperson 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Lezlie Johnson Founder 2.00 X 0 0 0 Carla du Manoir Vice Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Ann E Kronen Vice Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Gloria Waldinger Secretary 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Andrew Harwood CPA Treasurer, Finance Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Daniel Zinn Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Ibiere Seck Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 James Buck Jordan Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Jenny Eidinger Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Lorena Barrientos Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Malcolm MacLean Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Martha Swiller Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Green Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Nancy Bertrando Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Noemi Ciau Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Patty Penske Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Susan Newirth Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Tracee Jones Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Heather Carrigan President/CEO 40.00 X 180136 0 3301 Richard Klein CFO/Dir. of Finance 40.00 X 132292 0 8914 312428 0 12215 2 0 1 0 Big Break LLC dba Chefables PO Box 288 South San Francisco CA 94083 Food Services 120000 1 593741 6921471 468095 7983307 Parent Fees 900099 105507 105507 105507 60318 60318 44099 0 44099 44099 44099 60000 57652 2348 2348 2348 69882 593741 69882 0 Loan amortization 900099 40000 40000 Miscellaneous Income 900099 38709 38709 78709 8274288 105507 0 185474 328190 271010 46389 10791 3861727 3188897 545854 126976 38450 31751 5435 1264 374960 313252 52649 9059 410365 352200 46498 11667 93718 54094 24999 14625 5791 1700 3941 150 571 205 366 139688 113015 20791 5882 45802 31906 10427 3469 317803 253201 48547 16055 67454 66183 1150 121 847 679 168 168766 148254 20118 394 80120 60706 17843 1571 Program related expense 1888942 1879390 9552 Accreditation 74385 74385 Recruitment and trainin 45731 37176 7744 811 Miscellaneous 13022 2640 8717 1665 9817 9817 7966149 6816076 935853 214220 730915 1102549 122867 122945 64650 59700 946587 543250 64310 88220 6694347 2756091 4063872 3938256 1817661 2189216 16699 16699 7827561 8060835 964745 855223 40000 0 16125 16125 1020870 871348 X 6766529 7182719 40162 6768 6806691 7189487 7827561 8060835 308139 74657 0 X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 5918062 6426788 7529192 7900334 7983307 35757683 5918062 6426788 7529192 7900334 7983307 35757683 35757683 1042 12637 136855 143730 104417 398681 67664 149258 71387 54644 78709 421662 36578026 486911 0.97760 0.97910 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 746441 988897 1735338 4314904 2191373 2123531 557242 477855 79387 86863 86863 0 3938256 Government owned assets 16125 16125 X 8582953 74657 234008 308665 8274288 0 8274288 8200157 234008 234008 7966149 0 7966149 Part X, Line 2: The Center is exempt from taxation under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) and California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 23701d. Generally accepted accounting principles provide accounting and disclosure guidance about positions taken by an organization in its tax returns that might be uncertain. Management has considered its tax positions and believes that all of the positions taken by the Center in its federal and state exempt organization tax returns are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. The Center's returns are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities, generally for three and four years, respectively, after they are filed.
