Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

The Centers fights for equity by healing, teaching, and inspiring individuals and families to reach their full potential.

  • Early LearningThe Centers provides early learning programs through the Early Head Start, Head Start, and Universal Pre-kindergarten programs. It provides early learning programming at centers across Greater Cleveland and through a comprehensive, home-based service team.The Centers' First 2,000 Days of Learning takes place at seven early learning centers across Northeast Ohio. Each offers:- Part- and full-day programs available at most locations- Well-rounded curriculum taught by highly qualified teachers and staff- Comprehensive support services that respond to the unique needs of each child- Clean, safe, and inviting indoor and outdoor space- Healthy meals (breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack)The Centers understands that each child and family is different so we offer several program options to deliver the best results. For our families who cannot travel to our centers, we provide an in-home early learning program that includes home visits by qualified teachers and frequent opportunities for group socialization. We are recognized by the State of Ohio Step Up to Quality rating system. A child's experiences during the first 2,000 days, from birth to the start of kindergarten, have a lasting impact on later success in school and life. Our 2,000 Days Pledge is an educational promise between teachers and parents that emphasizes the importance of a shared partnership and approach for putting children on the right path to high school graduation and beyond.

The Centers offers:- Counseling - Psychiatry - Case ManagementPrimary CareCircle's primary care program introduces our clients to our team of doctors and nurse practitioners. At an initial appointment, a client's height, weight, temperature, blood pressure, and heartbeat are checked. A doctor or nurse practitioner will talk with the patient about health history and current habits.Addiction and Substance Abuse Counseling and CareAddiction is on the rise in our community and intervention is key to recovery. The Center' drug and alcohol counselors conduct one-on-one assessments with clients to determine the degree of potential substance abuse and then work with the client, family members, or a close friend on a recovery plan which can include individual counseling and group therapy. PharmacyClients can receive and pick up a prescription at one of our five community pharmacies. If it's determined that it would be helpful to visit a client at home to help them with medication compliance, our pharmacists make home visits. Our home visit program is the first of its kind and is showing impactful results.

The first 25 listed. 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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
