We accomplish this via our unique cooperative childcare model whereby we train low-income parents to supplement experienced, Christ-centered, Early Childhood Educators. Each week, parents assist one day to receive four, tuition-free childcare days to facilitate work or school. 5 5 2 15 0 0 399946 383411 0 0 -829 3062 0 0 399117 386473 1293 225 0 0 56121 71059 0 468 941 84722 79079 142136 150831 256981 235642 348703 580585 6093 2333 342610 578252 Project One Day (POD)'s model, or Community of Parent-Educators, accomplishes three goals: (1) EQUIPS PARENTS-- Each parent undergoes 24 hours of annual training in Early Childhood Education (ECE) and teaches 8 hrs/ wk in their child's class alongside an ECE Educator. 2) FREE QUALITY CHILDCARE-- POD's model generates 40 hrs/wk of free child care to facilitate parents' work or school. 3) SUPPORTIVE CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY-- POD's model connects parents to one another to generate meaningful, supportive friendship. 0 0 144714 0 0 Project One Day (POD) trains low-income parents to supplement Christ-centered, Early Childhood Educators. Each week, parents assist one day to receive four, tuition-free childcare days to facilitate work or school. POD's model improves student-to-teacher ratios, lowers operating costs, and equips parents through training. Parent training includes 1) Pediatric CPR and First Aid Certification, 2) Conscious Discipline's Social Emotional Learning Foundations, and 3) 24 hours of childcare classes via Texas A&M's AgriLife Extension. Classwork includes content on SIDS/ AHT, recognizing the signs of abuse and neglect, and developmental milestones. POD encourages parents to find Christian community and network with one another. This network keeps children safer because parents undergo background checks and drug testing. RESULTS: In 2023 POD served 21 children in need ages six weeks through three years old by generating 45 weeks of tuition-free Christian childcare. Care included free diapers, healthy meals, and daily schedules. Eighty percent of participating parents were single. Collectively, parents completed 504 hours of training in Early Childhood Education. All parents were working or in school 25 hours a week or more and all had incomes less than 85% of the State median income. 0 0 0 144714 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 7 0 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 5 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 X Pat Johnson 8326031153 2220 McKee St Houston TX 77009 X Jennifer Johnson President 50 0 X 0 0 0 Wendy Badgwell Vice President 2 0 X 0 0 0 Benigna Cortes Leiss Director of Fundraising 6 0 X 0 0 0 Pat Johnson Treasurer 3 0 X 0 0 0 Evelyn Smith Secretary 2 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 53224 330187 0 383411 0 3062 3062 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 386473 3062 0 0 0 0 225 225 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 65987 65987 0 0 0 0 0 0 24 24 0 0 5048 5048 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4246 0 4246 0 0 0 0 0 468 468 0 0 0 0 7985 7355 630 0 150 0 0 150 15330 15330 0 0 893 270 300 323 0 0 0 0 44365 44365 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6110 6110 0 0 150831 144714 5176 941 60516 108159 279353 435881 0 0 1214 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7620 9658 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 26887 348703 580585 6093 2333 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6093 2333 X 342610 491252 0 87000 342610 578252 348703 580585 235642 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 0 121821 94345 399946 383411 999523 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 121821 94345 399946 383411 999523 999523 0 2 20 22 3062 3106 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1002629 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 8b There are no committees.
