What Live Oak Preschool does
Mission
Live Oak is a preschool dedicated to building a superior foundation for lifelong learning in a nurturing, loving surrounding.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
In the past year, Live Oak Preschool successfully provided high-quality, play-based early childhood education to 42 families in our community. Our program focused on fostering children's natural curiosity and development through a play-based curriculum, which aligns with our mission to support children's social, emotional, and academic growth in a nurturing environment. To support this goal, we employed a dedicated and highly quali?ed team of 7 staff members, including experienced teachers and a program director. Each staff member contributed their expertise to ensure a well-rounded and enriching experience for the children. We are proud to have offered tuition assistance to 7 families, totaling $7,820, helping to make our program accessible to families in need. This ?nancial support re?ects our ongoing commitment to meeting the diverse needs of our community and ensuring that all children have the opportunity to thrive in our program. Through these efforts, we continue to strengthen our community by providing a supportive, engaging, and inclusive learning environment for young children and their families.

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. 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 2019 to 2020, from $557k to $642k (+15%).
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.
0% of Live Oak Preschool’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (57% for the typical peer).

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $6k 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.
