Throughout the month of October, CHILDREN AT RISK will be hosting community conversations across 12 cities in Texas, discussing the effects of the 88th Regular Legislative Session on Early Childhood Education and next steps for continuing to build a robust child care system in Texas that supports young children and their families.
We will also be hosting a Press Conference throughout Texas regarding Proposition 2, property tax relief for child care providers, and the upcoming November Election.
