Child Care Resources Inc.

Child Care Resources Inc., a Charlotte, North Carolina–based tax-exempt nonprofit organization, operates as a grant recipient and sub-recipient delivering early childhood education services, child care resource and referral programs, and professional development for the early care and education workforce. The organization operates almost exclusively as a sub-recipient (97% of recent awards), with minimal prime grant activity; it has not held federal contracts.

Child Care Resources Inc. works with three federal agencies across early childhood and nutrition programming. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service dominates the award footprint, accounting for 119 sub-awards under the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), which reimburses approved care facilities for meals and provides cash value equivalents for USDA commodity reimbursement. The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families funds 17 sub-awards across the Early Head Start program (CFDA 93.600), the Promoting Healthy Social Behaviors in Child Care Centers program (targeting social and emotional health for children birth to five enrolled in licensed centers), and the North Carolina Child Care Resource and Referral Core Services project. Funding concentration is nearly total: USDA Food and Nutrition Service sub-awards represent the vast majority of the 136 awards in the source.

Child Care Resources Inc. holds one named prime grant award: a $2,666,255 Early Head Start project grant from HHS Administration for Children and Families dated July 1, 2026, running through December 31, 2026, supporting educational, health, nutritional, and social services to infants, toddlers, and pregnant women in North Carolina. The remainder of the sub-award activity flows through Pennsylvania Department of Education (managing CACFP entitlements and commodity equivalency cash payments) and North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (managing professional development, technical assistance, and resource-and-referral initiatives for early care and education providers). Representative sub-awards include technical assistance delivery to early care and education programs in North Carolina's South Central Region to improve management and director skills (July 1, 2026), the Promoting Healthy Social Behaviors program amendment extending services and adding $175,000 in funding (November 30, 2025), and ongoing CACFP meal reimbursement and commodity-value pass-throughs (fifty-plus awards from Pennsylvania, ranging from February 2024 to August 2026).

Activity has grown sharply: two awards in 2022 to forty in 2026 year-to-date, with forty-nine awards in 2025. Only one award faces ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, indicating low recompete exposure in that window. The organization's federal footprint is confined to early childhood nutrition and education delivery through sub-grant relationships with state education and health departments, with no involvement in federal contracts, vehicles (GWACs, BPAs, IDIQs), or set-aside categories.
