What Early Learning Shared Services Alliance Inc does
Mission
To provide childcare centers and home-based providers with centralized back-office support, so that providers can grow their businesses, achieve financial stability and focus on quality programming and education.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Elssa serves as a solution to the business challenges faced by small childcare providers in central florida's low income neighborhoods. A shared service alliance is a partnership of childcare providers working together to share costs and deliver services in a streamlined and efficient way. The concept allows both centers and home-based childcare providers to share a portion of the financial burden of operating a high quality program. Providers do this by relying on a centralized staff for administrative support, including bookkeeping, financial reporting, marketing and enrollment management, staff recruiting, payroll and benefits management and other functions.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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 2022 to 2023, from $386k to $1.4M (+260%).
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.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
74% 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 EARLY LEARNING SHARED SERVICES ALLIANCE INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 100% · 2023 64% — diversifying over time.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $80k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
