What Stony Brook Child Care Services Inc does
Mission
Stony brook child care is an early childhood educational center that fosters learning, creativity and individuality in children while serving as a teaching model. We embrace diversity, value our highly qualified staff, and cultivate partnerships among our families, staff, board of directors, and community. We support the university's missions by providing educational experiences, research opportunities, and services to the community.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
The center provides day care services and maintenance to childern 5 days a week, including educational and recreational activities, meals and snacks. There are approximately 109 children at the center. The center offers two principal childcare programs: an infant-toddler program and a preschool program. The rooms are places where early childhood professionals set up environments for young children to grow and develop. The atmosphere is one of warmth and respect. The child's developing sense of safety, self-esteem and competence is most important. The classrooms are designed around the physical, emotional, social and cognitive needs of children ranging in age from 8 weeks to 5 years of age. Our curriculum activities emerge from individual child's interests and abilities. It is the teachers' role to observe and find opportunities to expand on these interests and abilities. Within each classroom, areas are set up to encourage exploration and discovery. Each area offers a wide range of choice for the childern to select from. Materials in art, science, literacy, math, movement and dramatic play are set up in an inviting manner to encourage involvement and exploration.

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 $3.0M to $1.8M (−40%).
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 16% · 2018 16% · 2019 16% · 2020 20% · 2021 31% · 2022 3% · 2023 8% · 2024 11%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
20% of STONY BROOK CHILD CARE SERVICES INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (81% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base held at 4 funders, grant income rose $52k → $72k.
6 of 11 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 66% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of STONY BROOK CHILD CARE SERVICES INC’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.
How concentrated its funding is
STONY BROOK CHILD CARE SERVICES INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 34% of grant income and the top three 76%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
98% 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 STONY BROOK CHILD CARE SERVICES INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 74% · 2018 54% · 2019 36% · 2020 50% · 2021 54% · 2022 58% · 2023 75% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. 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.
How long its funders stay
67% of STONY BROOK CHILD CARE SERVICES INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 45% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
66% of STONY BROOK CHILD CARE SERVICES INC'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. Of the $307k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from New York funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $601k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
