We continued to collect outcomes data. We transitioned 18 students to other programs. For the 3rd year in a row, 4 students received partial scholarships via the Griffin Shaw Memorial Scholarship Fund. During the COVID-19 pandemic, our center was able to stay open since we are a licensed daycare center in the state of Texas. About 30% of students who do not benefit from online instruction were served at our center from March to May of the school year. Our teachers rapidly retooled to serve the remaining 70% via distance learning. We delivered the curriculum weekly to those who were participating online, and we reworked our procedures to keep our center safe and sanitary to those attending in person. We successfully concluded our school year with a Hawaiian-themed drive-through parade. 176334 113529 Recreation - Many programs, like Sensory Circuits, Acceptional Sports, and Interactive Kids, were rejuvenated and saw increased enrollment this year. However, they had to be canceled starting March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the pandemic, we were able to offer 8 weeks of camps during the summer with a reduced enrollment of ~ 36-40 students (about half the usual number) so that we could maintain social distancing standards recommended by the CDC and HHS. Around 300 people participated in our community events, Boo Bash, and Winter Wonder World. 4805 Therapy - Since many of the ISW Academy students are at our center all day, we collaborated with their private therapists who provided speech therapy, occupational therapy, and ABA at our center. This is extremely helpful to carry-over their therapeutic goals into the classroom. We incurred insignificant costs related to these activities during the year. 1114271 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false true false false false false false false false false false false true 10 0 true 38 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 8 7 false false false false false false false true false false false true true true true true false true true false X X Rekha Suryanarayana 9722398100 13617 Neutron Road Farmers Branch TX 75244 Angela Stephens Pres & Exec Dir 60.00 0.00 X 71667 0 2556 Ashley Deaver Sec of Corp 40.00 0.00 X 54304 0 2556 Rekha Suryanarayana VP & Treasurer 35.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Louis N Buddy Lee Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Janet Keckeisen Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Vipin Nambiar Chair/Fin Chair 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Brady Colby Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Carla Johnson Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 John Foley Vice Chair 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sharilyn Getz Sec of Board 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 125971 5112 0 false false false 0 44616 10000 255363 15459 309979 Educational tuition/fees 611600 652400 652400 Recreational tuition 611600 113529 113529 Rentals by therapists 531120 2627 2627 Therapeutic tuition 611710 2178 2178 770734 11 11 0 577 577 0 692 244 448 448 448 6554 9731 -3177 -3177 3320 530 2790 2790 0 0 1081362 770734 649 0 0 0 0 136509 136509 38039 38039 593964 518424 290 75250 0 23332 22662 670 60554 54575 22 5957 0 0 0 0 0 0 42879 6499 36372 8 9559 6394 100 3065 45014 31799 12105 1110 8081 4654 814 2613 0 213485 209307 2089 2089 3868 3788 80 0 2978 2117 593 268 1199 1175 12 12 0 17441 17093 174 174 10991 9602 1291 98 Educational materials 28475 28371 52 52 Dues, trainings, & volunteer 27651 23263 3031 1357 0 1264019 1114271 57695 92053 118843 230919 151574 106586 0 35168 22730 0 0 4591 0 10015 13752 169119 54959 67113 114160 0 0 0 0 4391 382713 497129 45394 25849 102050 198539 157000 8729 71858 156173 453246 X 181048 -16259 45492 60142 226540 43883 382713 497129 -182657 X false true X false false X 255263 238097 355522 284305 309979 1443166 0 0 255263 238097 355522 284305 309979 1443166 383728 1059438 1230 2229 4341 588 8388 10378 6425 33037 61 49901 0 1501455 3315114 0.70560 0.68160 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 51477 23439 28038 82253 18234 64019 35389 13286 22103 114160 Obligations under capital leases 42220 Refundable grant advances 29638 71858 X 1081362 1081362 1081362 1264019 1264019 1264019 Part X : FIN48 Footnote Management has concluded that any tax positions which would not meet the more-likely-than-not criterion of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 740-10, Accounting for Income Taxes, would be immaterial to the financial statements taken as a whole.
