Texas 2036 is working hard to understand the state of child care in Texas. This month marks the beginning of a new study examining the state’s early childhood system.
Child care is vital for supporting the state’s prosperity by helping families participate fully in the workforce, promoting economic stability, and preparing children for school. However, persistent challenges and missed opportunities prevent Texas from maximizing its current early childhood system.
The 89th Legislative Session brought promising changes for the early childhood system, including the formation of the Quad Agency Initiative, designed to eliminate regulatory conflicts, and the Governor’s Task Force on the Governance of Early Childhood Education and Care.
These efforts are significant and underscore an urgent need to understand the barriers parents, providers, and employers face in building a sustainable, effective, transparent system.
Texas 2036 is seeking to generate actionable insights via an online survey that informs state policy discussions and strengthens access to quality, affordable child care throughout Texas.
What this research means for you:
- As parents encounter challenges in accessing affordable, high-quality child care, this virtual study offers an opportunity to help shape the state’s understanding of how to support working families.
- By elevating on-the-ground roadblocks and innovative practices, providers will inform the policy conversation about decisions directly impacting their operations and levers to support the provision of high-quality programs.
- Insights garnered on how child care affects key metrics, such as recruitment and retention, will benefit employers by enabling strategies to improve workforce stability and productivity.
