What Neighborhood Play Garden Inc does
Mission
Play based curriculum is augmented with movement, regular experiences in nature, art, music,theater through which children develop skills designed to provide a firm foundation for later social and academic success.
As stated on its FY2019 Form 990.
Program
We are committed to supporting sustainable community for san francisco's families with young children while creating an inclusive learning environment designed to support children with autism spectrum disorder and other special needs. We nurture children and their development of empathy and social skills. Each year approximately 25% of our students have identified special needs. Monthly parent participation in our classroom is both a requirement and an advantage for those who wish to be more closely involved with their young child's first school experiences. We participate in preschool for all through the city of san francisco and offer financial aid to low and middle income families through san francisco's els (early learning scholarships) program.

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 2018 to 2019, from $68k to $49k (−28%).
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 21% · 2018 11% · 2019 12%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
14% of NEIGHBORHOOD PLAY GARDEN INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (57% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 3 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.
