Lagoshen Family Life Skills And Enrichment Center

Lagoshen Family Life Skills And Enrichment Center, doing business as La Goshen Child Care Learning Center, is a tax-exempt, Black American-owned, minority-owned nonprofit educational institution operating a child care learning center in Rossville, Tennessee. The organization operates exclusively as a sub-recipient on federal child nutrition grant awards, with no prime contracting or IDV positions.

The entity's federal footprint is concentrated entirely within the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service child nutrition programs. Since October 2025, Lagoshen has received sixteen sub-grant awards—all awarded through the Tennessee Department of Human Services as the prime grantee—totaling $7 thousand in obligated federal dollars. The awards fall into two recurring categories: Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) Center Institutions List (CIL) participation awards and Commodity Nutrition (CN) Block Meals Reimbursement awards. Both award types are issued monthly, with activity accelerating from six awards in 2025 to ten awards in 2026 year to date. The most recent awards are dated May 31, 2026.

The monthly award rhythm and modest dollar volume reflect Lagoshen's operational role as a participating child care facility within Tennessee's USDA nutrition reimbursement infrastructure rather than as a contracted service provider. The organization does not hold direct federal contracting authority, competitive set-asides, or parent vehicle positions. Its relationship with the federal government is mediated entirely through Tennessee Department of Human Services pass-through funding for meal provision and nutrition program participation at the facility level. This posture positions Lagoshen as a beneficiary institution within federal food assistance programming rather than as a vendor competing for federal procurement or delivering services under federal contract vehicles.
