Each spring, the CHILDREN AT RISK Early Childhood Education team hosts virtual community roundtables across 12 major cities in Texas. During these sessions, C@R experts will share updates from the latest Paving the Way report, including regional analysis of Local Workforce Development Board spending, updated Child Care Desert data, legislative advocacy updates, alongside insights from child care providers across the state. We value these conversations as an opportunity to hear directly from communities and better understand what providers and families are experiencing locally.
