Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

THE ORGANIZATION'S MISSION IS TO GIVE EACH CHILD A WARM AND SAFE ENVIRONMENT ENCOURAGING THE DEVELOPMENT OF ACADEMIC, EMOTIONAL, SOCIAL AND SELF REGULATION SKILLS, WHICH FOSTERS A HEALTHY, INDEPENDENT AND STRONG SELF IMAGE. OUR TEACHERS MANIFEST THEIR RESPECT FOR CHILDREN BY ENCOURAGING CHILDREN TO THINK FOR THEMSELVES, MAKE DECISIONS, WORK TOWARDS THEIR OWN SOLUTIONS, AND EXPRESS THEIR OWN IDEAS AND FEELINGS. TO SUPPORT SUCCESSFUL LEARNING, THE ORGANIZATION ENCOURAGES AN ACTIVE PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN HOME AND SCHOOL. THE ORGANIZATION'S EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS ARE BASED UPON THE PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE PRACTICE AND ENCOURAGES ON-GOING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TO FOSTER CONTINUING EXCELLENCE IN EARLY CHILDHOOD PRACTICE.

  • THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDES PRESCHOOL SERVICES IN THE CITY OF HOBOKEN, NJ. 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. 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.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

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 11 November 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.
