We’re a Non Profit!

Individualized Educational Services is now a 501(c)(3) public charity! We’re very grateful for the opportunity to be of service to the greater Santa Barbara area and bring quality education and community experiences to children and their families!

We’ve got quite the to-do list. We want to create a science lab. Build a teaching kitchen. Teach more students and find more amazing teachers and tutors! All of this, plus create an inclusive space for our community members.

Please be on the look out for community events and fundraising opportunities! It takes a village! But, we know we will get the support, For the Future!

Our Goals

  1. Create a wet science lab. We’ll have even more amazing hands-on science lessons!
  2. Build a teaching kitchen. Two thirds of gen-z adults can’t cook. Let’s change that!
  3. Hire on more teachers and tutors. Let’s work with more students!
  4. Schedule more community events. We feel better when we are with others. Let’s have some fun!

Increase the Value of Your Advance Child Tax Credit Payments

person holding white and blue box

Your family may be one of the thousands of across the country to be receiving your child tax credit as an advance rather than a deduction come tax time. This has brought a change to our line of thinking- what do you actually spend that money on rather than just write it off at the end of the year? Now that the money is going straight to you as an asset, you should think about investing in your child in their growth.

Return on investment (ROI) is such a common term applied to money. But what about expanding to your your children’s education? A college degree can provide 6-20% ROI! We challenge you to find an interest rate or another ROI that pays out as much!
