Infants benefit from a low children-to-teacher ratio and consistent, loving caregivers who foster trust and exploration. As children grow, they transition from the Baby House to the Wobbly Walkers classroom, which caters to their increasing mobility and curiosity. By age 2, they move to the Todds classroom, where the focus is on understanding individuality and separation, and after 2, they advance to the Nursery School. 1025334 146162 1364520 Nursery School - Children in the Nursery School range in age from 2 to 5 years old.

The Organization has a policy of appropriating for distribution each year all of the earnings from its endowment fund as allowed by state law and by SPMIFA. In accordance with this policy, the Organization transferred $17,529 of investment income generated from the investment portfolio for the year ended September 30, 2023. In establishing this policy, the Organization considered the long-term expected return on its endowment. Accordingly, over the long term, the Organization expects the current policy to allow its endowment to grow in accordance with ongoing market conditions. This is consistent with the Organizations objective to maintain the purchasing power of the endowment assets held in perpetuity or for a specified term as well as to provide additional real growth through new gifts and investment return. Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Organization is a not-for-profit organization that is exempt from federal income tax on income under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and from state franchise tax under California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 23701 (d). However, income from activities not directly related to its tax-exempt purpose is subject to taxation as unrelated business income. There was no tax on unrelated business income for year ended September 30, 2023. The Organization has evaluated its current tax positions and has concluded that as of September 30, 2023, the Organization does not have any significant tax positions for which a provision would be necessary.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c If a conflict appears or is brought forth the Board reviews the conflict to determine next steps. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15a We reviewed similar organizations fee structures compared with what we provide for our fees, reviewed what pay different organizations offer for levels of experience, and discussed at a Board level and at an administrative level to determine current pay scales to maintain competitiveness within the field. We also set a COLA that is more reasonable than what we used to provide (before my hire it was sometimes as little as 1%, which in the Bay Area does not reflect actual COL). Compensation is based on a combination of years of experience working with children, working at BlueSkies, and education. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 Available upon request.
