In the 2023 Texas legislative session, significant strides were made towards improving access to child care for working families facing long waitlists and high costs. A coalition led by prominent organizations successfully pushed for reforms, resulting in the passing of key bills aimed at expanding child care resources. This legislative success, coupled with local initiatives like Travis County's childcare ballot measure, signals a progressive shift to alleviate child care shortages, benefiting both employees and the economy amid ongoing challenges stemming from the pandemic.
In our first session, to have this kind of accomplishment shows we've struck a nerve, identifying an issue that resonates with people, impacting families and economy.
Reliable childcare is crucial for hourly workers; if plans fall through, we have unfulfilled shifts that sometimes lead us to close our doors.
