Laramie Child Development Corporation

Laramie Child Development Corporation, a tax-exempt nonprofit entity registered in SAM.gov since March 2009, operates as a community development organization headquartered in Laramie, Wyoming. The organization delivers federal grant-funded services focused on early childhood education and family support, serving low-income populations in Wyoming through comprehensive developmental and nutritional programs. As a prime grantee, LCDC has established itself as a key provider of federally-supported early childhood services in the region.

LCDC's federal grant portfolio centers on Head Start programming, as evidenced by its current five-year prime grant award valued at $1,111,890.00 from the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (Office of Head Start), effective from November 1, 2025 through October 31, 2030. Through this Head Start grant (CFDA 93.600), LCDC delivers comprehensive early childhood education, health, and family support services designed to promote school readiness for children ages 3-5 from low-income families by enhancing their cognitive, physical, behavioral, and social-emotional development. Additionally, LCDC receives meal reimbursements as a sub-awardee under the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), with documented sub-grant awards from the Wyoming Department of Education in both August 2023 and April 2025. The organization previously received an American Rescue Plan Project Grant from the Office of Head Start (April 2021 to March 2023), demonstrating its continuity in providing federally-supported early childhood services. Through these grant mechanisms, LCDC combines direct educational and developmental services with nutritional support to serve vulnerable populations in Wyoming.
