Patterson Family Child Care Center LLC

Patterson Family Child Care Center LLC, a woman-owned, minority-owned, and self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Topeka, Kansas, operates exclusively as a sub-recipient on federal grants—specifically child care subsidy block grants flowing from the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service through the Kansas State Department of Education. The organization holds no federal contract prime awards and no seats on contract vehicles; all fourteen recorded awards are grant sub-awards issued between October 2024 and May 2026.

Patterson Family Child Care Center is structured as a limited liability company sole proprietorship and self-identifies as Black American owned and woman owned. The vendor's footprint is entirely concentrated within a single grantor agency and pass-through vehicle: all fourteen sub-awards originate from USDA's Food and Nutrition Service as block grants, with the Kansas State Department of Education serving as the intermediary prime recipient. The awards span a seven-month acceleration from two awards in 2024 to eight in 2025 and four in 2026 year-to-date, with combined dollars obligated totaling $227 thousand across the entire portfolio. The most recent award was issued May 4, 2026.

As a child care facility sub-recipient, Patterson Family Child Care Center's federal role is to deliver eligible child care services under the USDA block grant program, with funding routed through Kansas State Department of Education pass-through grants. The vendor serves no other federal agencies and maintains no other federal funding streams in the source record. The award frequency and timing pattern—regular monthly to quarterly sub-awards—is consistent with reimbursement-based child care subsidy program administration rather than contract-based service delivery.

This organization operates entirely outside the federal contract space. It holds no GWAC, IDIQ, BPA, or schedule seats; generates no revenue from task-order competition; and serves no role as a subcontractor on defense or civilian prime contracts. For federal contractor business development purposes, Patterson Family Child Care Center represents a child care services sub-recipient in the USDA nutrition-services ecosystem, not a potential team member, prime competitor, or contract-vehicle partner.
