What Platt Park Children's Center does
Mission
Platt Park Children's Center is a christian preschool reaching into the surrounding community through the love of christ. Ppcc provides quality education in a safe, loving, play-based environment for children between the ages of two and a half and six.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
The organization believes successful early childhood education is one focusing on the development of the whole child, particularly the physical, social, emotional and cognitive needs. Ppcc accomplishes this through guided discovery and hands-on learning in a play-based environment. Through play, children learn to build positive relationships with others, explore their surroundings and ask meaningful questions. Play-based learning focuses on the process not the product, enriching a child's feelings of success and his love of learning.having experienced and knowledgeable early childhood educators who work in collaboration provides a safe and engaging environment for learning. Open and honest communication between staff members and parents helps to enhance a child's learning experience. Ppcc teachers provide developmentally appropriate activities and a wide variety of materials with which children can play and experiment. Teachers aid the learning process by asking questions, setting goals, and modeling positive behavior.

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 2022 to 2023, from $148k to $246k (+66%).

Government-grant reliance: 2021 5% · 2022 12% · 2023 11% · 2024 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

From the IRS filings of PLATT PARK CHILDREN'S CENTER’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.
Where its funders are
100% of PLATT PARK CHILDREN'S CENTER's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $872 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.
