Why Raising Travis County’s Scholarships and Gap Funding Matter
More Stability for Working Parents
When families can count on affordable, high-quality care, parents can keep working, stay in school, or pursue training without constant disruptions.
Stronger Providers, Sustainable Programs
Gap funding helps child care programs cover the true cost of care, so they can retain staff, maintain quality, and keep classrooms open and full.
A Stronger Travis County Economy
When parents can work and providers can grow, employers benefit from a steadier workforce—and more dollars circulate locally.
