Precious Memories Child Care Center LLC

Precious Memories Child Care Center LLC, a woman-owned, minority-owned (Black American-owned), for-profit limited liability company, operates as a sub-recipient on federal child nutrition grants, delivering meal and food-assistance services to child care facilities in Connecticut. The vendor holds no federal contracts and no prime grant awards; all 17 recent awards are sub-grants flowing through the Connecticut Department of Education as the prime grantee.

Precious Memories' federal footprint is entirely concentrated with the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service, which accounts for 100% of awards. The vendor receives sub-grant awards under two child nutrition programs: the Child Nutrition Program Block Consolidated and the Cash-In-Lieu/Commodities Child Care Food Program (CCFP). Since October 2021, Precious Memories has received paired sub-awards under these programs on a consistent annual cycle — October placements in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, followed by January and March 2026 awards, with the most recent pairing dated May 13, 2026. The combined dollars obligated across all seventeen awards total $975 thousand, representing modest per-award values typical of sub-recipient child care nutrition funding distributed through state education departments. This award pattern reflects a stable operational relationship with Connecticut's child nutrition infrastructure, with no growth trajectory but consistent annual reauthorization.

The vendor competes exclusively in the child nutrition sub-recipient space and holds no SBA contracting vehicles, GWACs, BPAs, or prime contract positions. As a sub-recipient rather than a prime contractor or prime grant recipient, Precious Memories occupies the operational tail end of the federal nutrition-assistance supply chain — the entity that provides meal service or commodities distribution to individual child care sites, with all programmatic and compliance oversight routed through Connecticut Department of Education.
