Texas continues to face a persistent challenge to provide accessible and high-quality child care at an affordable rate.

Supporting the care and early development of the state’s young children can benefit all Texans. And it will take agents from many facets—state and local government, community organizations, and child care advocates of all kinds—to make it happen.
