Your child care business is a vital resource, not only for the parents and children you serve, but also for Houston’s economy. Child care accessibility and quality is the foundation for Houston’s workforce. Without it, millions of Houstonians – and especially vulnerable populations – will be unable to find work or do the jobs required in the 21st century. Collaborative for Children provides the training necessary to ensure that child care center leaders have the business skills and practices in place to serve families without interruption.
The Texas Workforce Commission awarded a $3 million grant to Collaborative for Children, in partnership with the Center for Nonprofits & Philanthropy at the Bush School at Texas A&M University, to improve the quality of child care in Texas. The Child Care Business Accelerator is a multi-phase program that will offer online courses to providers across Texas. It is intended to enable child care providers to stabilize their business operations so they can dedicate more time to improving the quality of early learning.
