Questions

Questions

How many daycares that accept child care assistance are in Lake Jackson?

11 daycares that accept child care assistance are listed in Lake Jackson. Accepting assistance says nothing about a daycare's own prices. A daycare without this tag may still accept assistance; ask.

How do I apply for child care assistance in Texas?

Apply through Child Care Services (child care scholarships), run by the Texas Workforce Commission, through local Workforce Solutions offices. It is for eligible Texas families with children from birth to age 12 (up to 18 with disabilities) who need child care to work, look for work, or go to school or job training, and who meet the income rules. Income limits change each year, so check the current limits on the state's site.

Is there free daycare?

Some families can get it. Head Start and Early Head Start are free for children from families who qualify, and some states waive the family's share of the cost for the lowest incomes. Ask your state's child care assistance office what you qualify for.

Does a daycare that accepts assistance cost more?

Not by itself. Accepting assistance means the daycare takes payments from the state program; its own prices vary like any daycare's. Ask whether it charges more than the state pays, and how much you would pay.

How does child care assistance work?

Each state runs a child care assistance program, paid for in part by the federal Child Care and Development Fund. Families who qualify by income, and usually by working, looking for work or going to school, get help paying a daycare that accepts it; the help is often called a voucher or subsidy. Most families pay a share called a copayment, set by the state. Apply through the Texas child care assistance office.

Can I get free daycare?

Some families can. States may waive the copayment for families with the lowest incomes, and Head Start and Early Head Start are free for families who qualify. Ask your state's child care assistance office what you qualify for.

Are these daycares licensed in Texas?

Every listing here comes from the Texas child care license records.
