Programs
On its FY2021 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
On March 13 2020 the preschool suspended operations due to an order by the Governor of Virginia to close schools due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The church were the school leases space also closed its building. On March 16,2021 the preschool was granted permission by the chruch to resume operations and the preschool began operating in a limited capacity. In September 2021 the preschool was able to return to a normal schedule of operations with reduced entrollment for the 2021-22 school year. The school followed requirements of the CDED state and local licensing authorities and adopted COVID-19 mitigation best practices to ensure the safety of staff and children.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 2021 to 2022, from $215k to $226k (+5%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2021 0% · 2022 32%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
