What Childrens House Preschool Inc does
Mission
CHP - Believes all children of every race, ability, native language, culture and economic status have the right to flourish in an inclusive preschool environment. CHP is one of only six preschools in Boulder County to achieve National Accreditation through the National Association for the Education of Young People (NAEYC). CHP accepts children through the Colorado Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) which are both designed to provide free or low cost early childhood education to low income families to address the achievement gap in schools.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
CHP served a total of 12 un-duplicated preschool aged children and their families in the current fiscal year. For over 30 years, CHP has used its First Chance Scholarship Fund to support marginalized children and families in the community access quality early childhood educational and childcare opportunities.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 2023 to 2024, from $446k to $388k (−13%).
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: 2020 19% · 2021 43% · 2022 57% · 2023 57% · 2024 44% · 2025 62%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
67% of CHILDRENS HOUSE PRESCHOOL INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (57% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income fell $4k → $2k.
2 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 19% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of CHILDRENS HOUSE PRESCHOOL INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
CHILDRENS HOUSE PRESCHOOL INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 53% of grant income and the top three 85%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
33% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund CHILDRENS HOUSE PRESCHOOL INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 99% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
83% of CHILDRENS HOUSE PRESCHOOL INC's grant income comes from Colorado funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $5k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
