Child Daycare Operator Service

The government authority located in San Pedro, California is seeking a qualified vendor to operate a childcare center for pre-kindergarten children. The agency requires a operator to establish and maintain necessary staff-to-child ratios, including trained substitute caregivers for each specific age group. This staffing model must ensure the continuity of childcare during shift changes and any absences of regular staff. The selected operator must implement a secure system for receiving and releasing children to protect their safety and security. The scope of work also includes providing transportation to and from the center during approved field trips or activities conducted outside the facility. The performance of this work will take place offsite under a contract period lasting five years. Only organizations based onshore in the United States are eligible to bid on this opportunity. The agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget for this service. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for June 17, 2026, and bidders must submit all questions no later than June 23, 2026.
