| FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION | STORYTELLER CHILDRENS CENTER IS A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT PROVIDES HIGH QUALITY EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION FOR HOMELESS AND AT RISK CHILDREN, AS WELL AS COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORT SERVICES FOR THEIR FAMILIES. THESE FAMILIES FALL WELL BELOW THE POVERTY GUIDELINES AND ARE LIVING IN SHELTERS, CARS OR IN MULTIPLE FAMILY ENVIRONMENTS, AND NEARLY HALF OF STORYTELLER CHILDREN HAVE SPECIAL NEEDS DUE TO THEIR TRAUMATIC EARLY LIFE EXPERIENCES. STORYTELLERS THREE-PRONGED APPROACH TO SCHOOL READINESS INVOLVES THE PARENTS, THE TEACHERS AND THE CHILD. OUR GOALS ARE FOR CHILDREN TO BE PREPARED TO ENTER KINDERGARTEN READY TO LEARN, THEIR FAMILIES ABLE TO SUPPORT THEIR CHILDS LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT, AND THAT OUR TEACHERS ARE TRAINED AS BEST IN CLASS AND ABLE TO BE EFFECTIVE THERAPEUTIC EDUCATORS. OUR SEAMLESS INTEGRATION OF ALL DAY SERVICES INCLUDES EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION, THERAPEUTIC COUNSELING, 2.5 HEALTHY MEALS A DAY, AND MEDICAL SCREENINGS FOR OUR CHILDREN; PARENT EDUCATIONS CLASSES, HOME VISITS, CASE MANAGEMENT AND COUNSELING ARE OFFERED TO OUR PARENTS. WE WORK WITH 4 AGENCIES THAT VISIT OUR STUDENTS WEEKLY TO WORK ON SPEECH THERAPY, BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION, MOTOR SKILLS AND MENTAL HEALTH RELATED ISSUES. OUR CURRICULUM ALSO HELPS OUR STUDENTS UNDERSTAND THEIR FEELINGS, PROBLEM SOLVE, AND KEEP ANGER FROM ESCALATING. STORYTELLER CHILDREN AND FAMILIES COME FROM THE TRAUMA LENS AND OUR TEACHERS ARE TRAINED THROUGH WHAT WE CALL REFLECTIVE PRACTICE AND SUPERVISION. OUR TEACHERS ARE EFFECTIVE THERAPEUTIC EDUCATORS AND HAVE THE CAPACITY TO RESPOND TO THE CRITICAL NEEDS OF EACH FAMILY. STORYTELLER CHILDREN'S CENTER OPERATES ONE CLASSROOM FOR TODDLER (CHILDREN 18 TO 36 MONTHS), ONE CLASSROOM FOR YOUNG CHILDREN WHO ARE NOT SOCIALLY EMOTIONALLY READY TO ENTER PRESCHOOL (STARTING AT 3 YEARS OLD), AND TWO CLASSROOMS FOR PRESCHOOL AGED CHILDREN (3.5 THROUGH 5 YEARS). |

THE FUNDING RECEIVED FROM CSPP COVERS APPROXIMATELY 2/3 OF STORYTELLERS COST TO PROVIDE THE PROGRAM, AND THE BALANCE IS COVERED BY PRIVATE DONATIONS. THE MAJORITY OF FAMILIES OF THE CHILDREN IN THE CSPP CLASSROOM FALL BELOW THE FEDERAL POVERTY LINE, HOWEVER CSPP ALLOWS FAMILIES TO PAY A SMALL PRORATED FAMILY FEE TO ATTEND THE PROGRAM IF THEY EARN ABOVE POVERTY WAGES.

WHEN A CHILD TURNS 3 YEARS OLD IN THE TODDLER PROGRAM, HE/SHE IS NO LONGER ALLOWED TO BE IN THE SAME CLASSROOM OR PLAY SPACE AS THE YOUNGER CHILDREN AND IS PROMOTED TO THE STORYTELLER STEPS PROGRAM OR TO HEAD START OR CSPP. CHILDREN STAY IN THE STORYTELLER STEPS PROGRAM FOR UP TO A YEAR OR TWO AND ARE MOVED TO A PRESCHOOL PROGRAM WHEN THEY QUALIFY BY AGE. STORYTELLER SERVES 16 CHILDREN IN THESE PROGRAMS.
