Mission

Circle Time CDC is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to the educational growth and development of children 2 to 5 years of age. Circle Time is focused on creating and maintaining an environment that is not only conducive to learning but provides a safe haven where children can expand their creativity and thrive. Research supports and Circle Time values the developmental stages of all children. It is our belief that all children have unique learning styles, varied interests, individual temperaments and different rates of development. The importance of the environment to be a place where new experiences can happen and new ways of focused exploration can be encouraged, is a vital part of Circle Time's philosophy and values.

Each tax year counts once: when a return was amended, only the latest return for that period is used below (superseded returns stay listed, greyed, under Finances).

Who gave

Contributor names are not public for this form type.

Public charities filing Form 990 or 990-EZ report large donors on Schedule B, but the IRS withholds their names and addresses from public copies. Private foundations (990-PF) are different: their contributors are public.

Finances

Newest first. Each filing: its name on one row, its figures on the row beneath. Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

Where the money went

Every expense line on each return, biggest first: Form 990 Part IX (with its program, management and fundraising columns), 990-EZ Part I, or 990-PF Part I. Event marks lines the organization itself describes as events. “Events” in each summary adds those lines, conferences and meetings, and the direct costs of fundraising events. Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.
