Program overview
447 children enrolled against 450 funded slots across 8 centers and 32 classrooms. Every figure below is computed from the child-level records, joined across the management information system, the assessment system, the screening system and the classroom observations.
Head count against funded slots
Enrolled is the head count at each month end, computed from each child's enrollment and exit dates. Cumulative is every child served to that point, which is the denominator the annual report uses. The two diverge as children leave and their slots are refilled: 24 children left this year, 12 of them within 45 days.
Items needing attention
- Classroom Organization is below the quality threshold.The program average is 5.47 against a threshold of 6.00. 27 of 32 classrooms average below the threshold. A score below threshold contributes to a competitive renewal determination.
- Chronic absence affects 38% of cumulative enrollment.178 of 471 children have missed 10% or more of the days they were enrolled. 164 of them are still enrolled, so the number is still movable this year.
- The Language and Literacy goal was missed, measured through Language.82% against a target of 85%, a shortfall of −3 pp.
- The Cognition goal was missed, measured through Cognitive.81% against a target of 85%, a shortfall of −4 pp.
- 25 children diagnosed as needing oral treatment did not receive it.63 of 88 children with a diagnosed need were treated. The most common reason recorded is an appointment scheduled for a future date.
- No school readiness goal maps to Scientific Reasoning.The receiving districts assess this at kindergarten entry: asks questions about and describes observable properties of objects and living things. It is a subdomain of the framework with no corresponding measurable goal.
School readiness goals
Each goal is measured from the spring checkpoint over the 436 children with a finalized checkpoint at all three points.
Requirement completion
170 enrolled children carry at least one overdue requirement. Due dates are 30 days from enrollment for immunization records, 45 for the well-child exam and screenings, 90 for the dental exam.

Observation scores against the quality thresholds
Scores run from 1 to 7. The average of the fall and spring windows is what a renewal determination reads.

The annual self-assessment goes to the Policy Council on May 12, 2026 and to the governing board on May 28, 2026. The annual report is due Aug 31, 2026.
Assessment figures are restricted to the 436 children with a finalized checkpoint at all three points; single-point status figures use every finalized checkpoint. Mixing the two inflates apparent growth, which is the most common error in aggregation, so the two denominators are kept separate throughout. Subgroup results below ten children are suppressed.
