About the company
Manchester Early Learning Center, Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Manchester, Connecticut, operates exclusively as a sub-recipient of federal child nutrition grants flowing from the U.S. Department of Agriculture through the Connecticut Department of Education. The organization receives federal funding to support meal programs for early learning participants, with no prime contract or grant awards and no participation in federal contracting vehicles.
Manchester Early Learning Center's federal footprint consists entirely of child nutrition sub-awards under two USDA Food and Nutrition Service programs: the Child Nutrition Program Block Consolidated and Cash-In-Lieu/Commodities-CCFP (Commodity Credit Fund Program). Between October 2021 and May 2026, the organization received 17 federal grant sub-awards totaling $386 thousand in combined obligations. The Connecticut Department of Education acts as the prime grantee on all awards; Manchester Early Learning Center participates as a downstream sub-recipient. Recent awards include Child Nutrition Program Block Consolidated sub-awards dated May 13, 2026, February 9, 2026, and January 13, 2026, paired with corresponding Cash-In-Lieu/Commodities-CCFP sub-awards on the same dates. The organization also received matching sub-awards in October 2024 and October 2023, with the earliest awards on record from October 2021 and October 2022.
Activity has remained minimal and flat through 2024, with two sub-awards per year, but accelerated significantly in 2026 with six sub-awards already recorded through May. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service is the sole customer agency across all 17 awards, representing 100% of Manchester Early Learning Center's federal award portfolio. The organization does not compete for federal contracts, hold seats on government-wide acquisition contracts, or subcontract on federal prime work; its relationship to federal funding is limited to receiving child nutrition program sub-grants passed through Connecticut's state education agency. This positioning reflects a typical early learning center's role as a program participant and meal-service provider within the federal child nutrition ecosystem rather than as a federal contractor or prime grant recipient.
