What The Center for the Development of Children Inc does
Mission
The corporation operates as a preschool for children. Its purpose is to educate children, at a preschool level, in a positive and enriching environment.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
The center for the development of children, inc. Offers a 3 year curriculum of high quality, developmentally appropriate early childhood education for children 2 through 5 years. The children in our center engage in a variety of hands-on experiences which foster the whole child. We focus on their social, cognitive, emotional and physical growth. Each of the classrooms, staffed by experienced early childhood professionals, provides a safe and nurturing environment which focuses on goals that are developed by the director and classroom teachers. Each classroom works on specific goals, building from the previous year and leading into the next. Each child is encouraged to reach these goals at his/her own pace and developmental readiness.

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 $441k to $1.2M (+181%).
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: 2021 15% · 2022 9% · 2023 11% · 2024 9% · 2025 4%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

From the IRS filings of THE CENTER FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN 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.
Where its funders are
100% of THE CENTER FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN 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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $937 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.
