What Dragon's Wagon Preschool does
Mission
Provide early childhood education to local preschool aged children.
As stated on its FY2026 Form 990.
Program
The Dragons Wagon Preschool recently completed their 2025-2026 school year with many successes in developmentally appropriate learning. We had a total of 69 children with no open spaces. Family surveys were positive with high regards in staff interaction, bilingual staff and readiness for the next level of learning. The Dragons Wagon will continue to provide the best early childhood education to our preschool children in the future.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
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 $388k to $454k (+17%).
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: 2017 61% · 2021 25% · 2022 19% · 2023 16% · 2024 14% · 2025 1% · 2026 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
