Financials: Revenue $805,400

Carrefour des Pitchou is a 42-year Montreal child care organization with remarkably stable revenue, 85% program spending, and an engaged 10-member board. The 71% compensation ratio is flagged as high but is entirely expected for a day care operation where educators and caregivers ARE the program.

Our Verdict: A well-established Montreal child care centre with over four decades of stable operation and strong program focus — donors and parents can trust the financial discipline of an organization that directs 85% of spending to programming, even as the compensation-heavy staffing model reflects the nature of quality child care.
