Crayon Castle Child Care, Inc.

Crayon Castle Child Care, Inc. Crayon Castle Child Care Division operates as a sub-recipient on federal education and nutrition grants issued by the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service through the Department of Education Nebraska as prime grantee. The vendor is a for-profit, woman-owned business with no prime contracts, no prime grants, and no seats on federal contract vehicles — its entire federal footprint consists of monthly sub-grant awards flowing through a single prime grantor relationship.

All 17 awards in the source data are grant sub-awards from the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service, issued through Department of Education Nebraska. Awards span April 2024 through June 2026 at a steady monthly cadence, with seven awards in 2024, seven in 2025, and three in the first half of 2026. Combined dollar obligation across all awards totals $192 thousand, reflecting the monthly, recurring nature of the sub-grant structure — typical of child nutrition programs that distribute funds to participating sites on a calendar basis. Award descriptions in the source carry government program codes marked "BLOCK" or "CNP_BLOCK," indicating participation in the USDA Child Nutrition Programs (CNP), which fund meal services at eligible child care facilities. The vendor's role is as a participating child care provider receiving sub-grant pass-through funding rather than as a vendor delivering services or goods to the federal government in the traditional contracting sense.

The concentration signal is absolute: 100% of awards flow from a single customer agency-pair (Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service via Department of Education Nebraska), with no diversification across other agencies, contract vehicles, or prime relationships. Activity is flat across the three-year window (seven awards annually in 2024–2025, three year-to-date in 2026). The vendor holds no SBA set-aside designations beyond woman-owned business status and does not compete on federal contracts or IDIQs. This profile reflects a small, locally-based child care operation participating in federal meal subsidy programs rather than a federal contractor or service provider. For competitive intelligence or M&A research purposes, Crayon Castle Child Care is of interest only within the narrow scope of child nutrition program participants and has no cross-over into the broader federal contracting supply base.
