| FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION MISSION: | TO PROVIDE QUALITY CHILD CARE SERVICES TO CHILDREN AND SUPPORT SERVICES FOR PARENTS IN THE PHILADELPHIA AREA. |
| FORM 990 | IN LIGHT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, FEDERATION EARLY LEARNING SERVICES' (FELS) NET INCOME DECREASED SIGNIFICANTLY. DUE TO THE MANDATED GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN, ALL FELS' CENTERS CLOSED FOR APPROXIMATELY THREE MONTHS BEGINNING IN MARCH 2020 AND REOPENED LATER IN JUNE. AS A PART OF FELS' COMMITMENT TO THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF ITS CHILDREN, PARENTS, AND STAFF, THE ORGANIZATION INSTITUTED NEW PROTOCOLS AS IT NAVIGATES COVID-19. AS A PART OF THESE HEALTH AND SAFETY PROTOCOLS, EACH CENTER CONDUCTS COVID-19 HEALTH SCREENINGS UPON BUILDING ENTRY FOR EVERY EMPLOYEE, CHILD, AND PARENT. FREQUENTLY TOUCHED SURFACES (I.E. DOOR HANDLES, SINKS, TOILET HANDLES, ETC.) ARE CLEANED MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY. SHARED OBJECTS ARE CLEANED AND DISINFECTED AFTER THEY ARE USED. ADDITIONALLY, ALL CHILDREN AND STAFF WASH THEIR HANDS FREQUENTLY WITH SOAP AND WATER FOR AT LEAST 20 SECONDS. SINCE REOPENING, FELS HAS ENDURED A SIGNIFICANT DROP IN CHILD ENROLLMENT ACROSS EACH CENTER, CONTRIBUTING TO THE DECREASE IN NET INCOME. IN SPITE OF THE FINANCIAL HARDSHIP FOR FELS DURING THE PANDEMIC, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS ALWAYS AND REMAINS COMMITTED TO SUPPORTING STAFF MEMBERS. DURING THE CLOSURE EARLIER THIS YEAR, THE BOARD ELECTED TO CONTINUE PAYING STAFF AS A 'THANK YOU' FOR THEIR SERVICE TO THE ORGANIZATION. ADDITIONALLY, FELS PAID A BONUS TO BOTH FULL-TIME AND PART-TIME EMPLOYEES WITH THE FIRST PAYMENT GOING OUT IN DECEMBER 2020. FELS CONTINUES TO STAND BEHIND ITS EMPLOYEES AND FAMILIES AS A RESOURCE DURING THIS DIFFICULT TIME. AS WE ENTER THE 2021 SCHOOL YEAR WE ARE BEGINNING TO SEE AN INCREASE IN ENROLLMENT AND STAFFING. THIS WILL POSITION FELS TO HAVE A BETTER NET INCOME FOR THE 2ND HALF OF 2021. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B | FORM 990 WAS PREPARED BY THE OUTSIDE CPA FIRM AND REVIEWED BY THE PRESIDENT AND CEO, CFO AND OPERATIONS COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD BEFORE FILING TO THE IRS. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C | THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY IS REVIEWED ANNUALLY AT BOARD AND EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETINGS. IN ADDITION, EACH BOARD MEMBER ANNUALLY COMPLETES A DISCLOSURE FORM IDENTIFYING ANY POTENTIAL CONFLICT. WHEN THE CEO AND CFO IDENTIFY TRANSACTIONS WITH A BOARD MEMBER, THEY ANALYZE POTENTIAL OR ACTUAL CONFLICTS AND ANY ISSUES ARE ADDRESSED. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15 | THE INITIAL COMPENSATION WAS DETERMINED BY A BOARD COMMITTEE AND TOOK INTO CONSIDERATION COMPARABLE MARKET COMPENSATION PACKAGES. SUBSEQUENT SALARY INCREASES ARE BASED ON WRITTEN PERFORMANCE REVIEWS AND FOLLOW AN INCREMENTAL RATE SCHEDULE USED FOR ALL EMPLOYEES. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS (A SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE LEADERSHIP COMMITTEE) IS RESPONSIBLE FOR REVIEWING COMPENSATION FOR HIGHLY COMPENSATED STAFF. SALARY INCREASES ARE BASED ON WRITTEN PERFORMANCE REVIEWS AND FOLLOW AN INCREMENTAL RATE SCHEDULE USED FOR ALL EMPLOYEES. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION C, LINE 19 | FURNISHED UPON REQUEST. |
| FORM 990, PART X: LINE 23 | ON APRIL 15, 2020, THE ORGANIZATION ENTERED INTO A TERM NOTE (THE NOTE) WITH PNC BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (THE BANK) THAT PROVIDED FOR A LOAN IN THE AMOUNT OF $1,487,700 PURSUANT TO THE PROGRAM UNDER THE CARES ACT. CERTAIN TERMS OF THE NOTE WERE MODIFIED BY THE BANK AS OF JUNE 5, 2020 DUE TO THE PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM FLEXIBILITY ACT OF 2020 (THE PPPF ACT). THE NOTE MATURES ON APRIL 15, 2022 AND BEARS INTEREST AT A RATE OF 1.0% PER ANNUM. UNDER THE TERMS OF THE PROGRAM, CERTAIN AMOUNTS OF THE NOTE AND ACCRUED INTEREST THEREON MAY BE FORGIVEN IF THEY ARE USED FOR QUALIFYING EXPENSES WITHIN CERTAIN TIME PARAMETERS AS DESCRIBED IN THE CARES ACT AND THE PPPF ACT. INTEREST AND PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS UNDER THE NOTE ARE DEFERRED UNTIL THE DATE OF ANY FORGIVEN AMOUNT OF THE NOTE HAS BEEN REMITTED TO THE BANK BY THE SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION (THE SBA) OR THE DATE THAT A FINAL DETERMINATION IS MADE THAT NO PORTION OF THE NOTE WILL BE FORGIVEN (THE DEFERRAL EXPIRATION DATE). FOLLOWING THE DEFERRAL EXPIRATION DATE, ANY UNFORGIVEN PORTION OF THE NOTE CONVERTS TO AN AMORTIZING TERM LOAN UNDER THE TERMS NOTED ABOVE. THE ORGANIZATION HAS ESTIMATED THAT $495,900 WOULD BE THE AMOUNT OF PRINCIPAL DUE IN THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR IF NO PORTION OF THE LOAN IS FORGIVEN. HOWEVER, THE ORGANIZATION INTENDS TO APPLY FOR FORGIVENESS OF THE NOTE TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE CARES ACT AND THE PPPF ACT, ALONG WITH SBA AND BANK GUIDANCE AND BELIEVES IT WILL MEET THE CRITERIA FOR FULL FORGIVENESS. THE NOTE IS COLLATERALIZED BY ASSETS HELD AT THE BANK. |
