THE ORGANIZATION IS FUNDED BY THE HOBOKEN BOARD OF EDUCATION AND PARENT FEES For WRAP AROUND SERVICES AS WELL AS FOR CHILDREN THAT MISSED THE SCHOOL CUTOFF FROM 2 YEARS OR OLDER. THIS PROGRAM IS CALLED THE PRESCHOOL TRANSITION PROGRAM. THE HOBOKEN EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAM IS FUNDED PARTIALLY BY THE NEW JERSEY DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION THROUGH THE HOBOKEN BOARD OF EDUCATION. THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDES EARLY EDUCATION SERVICES TO AN ESTIMATED 645 CHILDREN, 3 AND 4 YEARS OF AGE, AND THEIR FAMILIES FOR 180 DAYS OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. THESE CHILDREN ARE ALSO ELIGIBLE FOR OUR WRAP SERVICES AND SUMMER ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS. OF THE ALMOST 645 CHILDREN, 261 (41%) ARE IN NEED OF EXTENDED HOURS PROVIDED THROUGH THE WRAP PROGRAM. THIS IS AVAILABLE ON A FEE FOR SERVICE OR VOUCHER BASIS ACCORDING TO INCOME AND FAMILY SIZE. WE ALSO PROVIDE A SUMMER ENRICHMENT PROGRAM FOR ABOUT 100 OF THESE CHILDREN.THE ENTIRE PROGRAM PROVIDES EARLY EDUCATION AND FAMILY SERVICES FROM 7:30AM TO 8:30AM AND 2:30PM TO 6:00PM DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR AND FULL TIME DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS FROM 7:30AM TO 5:30PM. ABOUT 41% OF THE HOBOKEN EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAM CHILDREN NEED THIS EXTENDED SERVICE. IT IS NOT OPEN TO OTHER FAMILIES UNLESS SPECIALLY APPROVED BY THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR.NJ PROGRAMS FOR CHILDREN REQUIRE MEAL SERVICE OF SOME KIND. RECENTLY, WE SWITCHED TO A CHOICE SYSTEM BECAUSE MANY OF OUR FAMILIES WANTED TO PROVIDE THEIR OWN FOOD. FAMILIES CAN EITHER PURCHASE MEALS MONTHLY OR ON AN AS NEEDED BASIS OR SEND FOOD FROM HOME BUT THEY STILL HAVE TO PROVIDE OR PURCHASE HEALTHY AGE APPROPRIATE FOOD FOR THEIR CHILDREN.MILE SQUARE ELC DOES NOT PROVIDE GRANTS TO ANY OTHER AGENCIES.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
