Texas’s economic success hinges on a stable workforce, with employers and working parents relying heavily on access to quality child care. However, Texans face significant challenges in meeting the needs of working families.

KEY FACTS

Currently, there are 859 Subsidy Child Care Deserts for low-income working families compared to 365 deserts for all families.

Only 10% of eligible low-income families have access to subsidized child care due to funding shortages.

Between 60,000 to 90,000 children of working parents remain on the subsidy waiting list.
