Children's Primary Centre is a charitable organization based in Toronto, Ontario, classified by the CRA under teaching institutions. It appears on the charity register the way hospitals, universities, and other publicly funded bodies do — to issue tax receipts — rather than as a donation-driven charity in the usual sense. In its fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, it reported $1.7M in revenue and $1.9M in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 15% from donations, 27% from government. In 2024, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $133K.
Compared with 1,247 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 88% of peers. Its highest-paid position fell in the $80,000–119,999 range. The charity reported 10 permanent full-time positions.
Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 9 names.
