About ST PHILIPS CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTER

Verification note: the EIN 55-0813533 corresponds to St. Philip's Child Development Center, a 501(c)(3) early childhood education nonprofit located in the Anacostia neighborhood of Washington, D.C. (the organization is not located in Rockford, MI).

St. Philip's Child Development Center operates year-round, full-day early childhood programs (infant, toddler and preschool) that emphasize school readiness, family support, and holistic child development. The center describes itself as one of the larger nationally accredited infant-care programs in metropolitan Washington and serves children roughly three months to four-and-a-half years old.

In recent years the center has operated at scale (serving dozens of infants and toddlers concurrently), participates in the District of Columbia subsidized tuition/reimbursement programs, and files annual Form 990s. Financials reported for fiscal years 2021–2023 show program services as the primary revenue source and revenue in the mid-to-high six-figure / low seven-figure range; the organization completed an external audit covering the 2023 fiscal year that identified material noncompliance and internal-control issues that management is addressing. Administrative leadership listed on the organization's site includes Director Dr. Cathryn Phillips-Ford.
