The Child Care Services (CCS) Program
The Child Care Services (CCS) program provides scholarships for child care. Child care scholarships are available to help parents work, search for work, or attend school or job training.
The CCS program works to inform parents about the availability and benefits of high-quality child care.
CCS supports child care providers improve the quality of services through the Texas Rising Star program. CCS supports and encourages child care programs to expand through the Pre-K Partnership program.
Visit Texas Child Care Solutions to learn how your child may be eligible for a scholarship.
Go to the Child Care Availability Portal to find available child care in your area that meets your needs.
Use the Texas Child Care Solutions Contact Form for questions about child care services and scholarships in your area.
