Happy Dragon Of Usa, Inc
City-funded organization
Happy Dragon Of Usa, Inc is a day care and pre-K provider that, per its own website, was founded in 1996 as a small family day care center and has grown to four locations in Brooklyn and Queens plus two partnering schools, offering toddler day care, Universal Pre-Kindergarten (3K and 4K), and Early Intervention and Committee on Preschool Special Education (CPSE) services for children with disabilities. It has held $33 million in Department of Education contracts since 2010, all now inactive, and has been paid $20 million to date. 20% of that contract value ($7 million across 5 contracts) was awarded without a fresh competitive bid, per Checkbook NYC's award-method labels, in contracts marked "Renewal (not re-bid)"; its two largest contracts, a $12 million UPK-BTF award and a $9 million "Related Services for Special Needs Students" award, were both competitively bid through RFP.
