Dennison is located in the center of census Tract 26 identified as the most economically deprived area in the city. Children/Teens are asked to pay a nominal fee of $5/yr. that serves more for the purpose of actually belonging to our center and taking ownership of it.Programs range from several athletic programs, academic tutoring and homework assistance, art projects to field trips and many other educational activities. For many children/teens the lack of traditional support for our children at home demands that we serve them in any way possible to help them achieve their goals and succeed in life. Many more obstacles are placed before our children every day than most children. Murder, gun violence, gangs, drug use and abuse are a reality in their daily existence.We have targeted programs to work so that our children may be exposed to a value system that they may not experience "in the streets".Our agency's physical structure is a two-story, 12000 sq. ft. building constructed in 2005 that houses activity rooms, two computer resource centers, our library, art areas and other places available to serve the program needs. Attached to this main building is a huge gymnasium structure built in 2000 that also houses a separate area our Teen Center for specialized teens only content. 191360 230615 School Age Daycare:The School Age Day Care Program is designed as a State of MA licensed program for ages 6-13. It has strict requirements of staff/child ratio and offers all transportation services for the children to attend this program and be returned home in the evening. The supervision and directed programs are more clearly defined and scheduled. The intentions and mission of the program is the same in developing a child's full potential to help them grow into responsible adults. Children may be referred to this program or may have received a voucher for child care.The program has a maximum capacity of 59 children and a 13:1 child/staff ratio.Annual staff training in a variety of complex child development issues is a mandatory requirement along with safety and first aid training.Some children may attend for several years on a revolving voucher but short term voucher slots for children are also available. Vouchers in our area are issued by P.A.C.E. Inc and the parent would then come to Dennison to enroll their child. 397118 1 1 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 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6 0 15 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 12 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 MA X X Sean P Hargraves 5089962691 755 South First Street New Bedford MA 02744 SEAN HARGRAVES 40.00 X 55400 0 11091 JOSEPH NEVES 40.00 X 55769 0 11091 JAMES DURY 5.00 X 0 0 0 JANET PEITAVINO 5.00 X 0 0 0 GWEN BETTENCOURT FLETCHE 10.00 X X 0 0 0 EUNICE MONTEIRO 5.00 X 0 0 0 TERRY MORAN 5.00 X 0 0 0 STEVEN PTASZENSKI 5.00 X X 0 0 0 MICHAEL THOMAS 5.00 X 0 0 0 SAM ACKAH 10.00 X X 0 0 0 SARAH ALDRICH DURY 10.00 X X 0 0 0 111169 0 22182 0 0 0 0 0 47004 1294 6660 67330 122288 DAYCARE REVENUE 624410 230615 230615 basketball 624110 1165 1165 231780 5504 5504 1295 1294 1295 0 359572 231780 0 5504 137814 114750 23064 85703 85703 24504 22147 2357 11445 11445 22940 12116 10824 30391 26388 4003 53315 52290 1025 732 732 335 335 61802 55622 6180 24939 22446 2493 FIELD TRIPS & SPONSORED 4924 4924 UNCOLLECTABLE ACCOUNTS 1861 1861 REGISTRATION FEE 125 125 460830 397118 63712 0 405 405 299341 172008 30208 32991 7138 5182 1797999 518579 1254722 1279420 54467 77759 1646281 1567765 10952 15295 2952 9857 13904 25152 X 1443221 1535273 189156 7340 1632377 1542613 1646281 1567765 X 1 0 1 X 0 X 203991 302243 179279 120746 122288 928547 202472 190065 231449 245681 231780 1101447 406463 492308 410728 366427 354068 2029994 0 0 0 2029994 6489 5085 13777 11620 5504 42475 6489 5085 13777 11620 5504 42475 419 183 215 817 413371 497576 424720 378047 359572 2073286 0.97910 0.97140 0.02050 0.02530 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1617664 371427 1246237 118285 108975 9310 62050 38177 23873 1279420 359572 460830 -101258 11494 11494 -89764 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11 OUR FORM 990 IS PREPARED PROFESSIONALLY.
