Child Care Subsidies

Helping working families afford quality
child care.

Child Care Associates manages state funding for Tarrant County Child Care Management Services (CCMS) to help low-income families cover the cost of quality child care.

If you’re a parent who is working or pursuing an education, we can give you the financial support you need to pay for quality child care and improve the overall well-being of your family.
