  • Need child care to work, attend school or training for work.
  • Single parents must work/attend school* at least 25 hours per week.
  • Two-parent families must work/attend school* at least 50 hours per week.
  • (*Parents may not exceed the school/education limits.)

  • Have children who are citizens of the United States of America

Who chooses the child care provider my child will use?
 
  • You do. Eligible parents/caretakers must choose their child’s care provider.
  • We can provide a list of our CCS providers.
  • The list identifies our Texas Rising Star Providers, businesses that have
  • volunteered to meet standards higher than the state requires in the areas of health & safety; fewer children with each caregiver; and lesson plans that include activities to specifically develop large muscle, small muscle, learning/thinking and social skills.
  • Some providers, called TEEM providers, have programs designed to improve a child’s school readiness, early learning and reading skills.
  • Other choices may be specific family members or registered or licensed facilities that are not CCS providers.
