What Bridging Gaps Childcare does
Mission
Bridging Gaps Childcare's mission is to bridge the communities and businesses by providing high quality childcare to working parents through focusing on the individual needs of each child in a safe, reliable and affordable environment. We plan to establish a network of childcare centers and fill the gap of childcare in the Houghton County, MI area.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
During the fiscal year ending September 30, 2024, Bridging Gaps Childcare achieved significant growth and enhanced our program quality. We substantially increased our enrollment, allowing us to serve many more children and families, address the critical community need for reliable care, and provide essential support for working parents. Complementing this expansion, we completed a major upgrade to our outdoor playground, creating a safer, more dynamic, and engaging environment that promotes gross motor skills and nature-based learning. These parallel accomplishments ensured that as our program grew, we continued to elevate the quality and safety of the developmental experience for every child in our care.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $34k to $49k (+43%).
