General Information: Providers
Workforce Solutions subsidizes the cost of child care services for eligible families in Dimmit, Edwards, LaSalle, Kinney, Maveric Real, Val Verde, Uvalde and Zavala counties through the administration of the Child Care Services (CCS) program. Child Care providers should be aware that the families they serve may be eligible for this assistance.
As a provider, you may receive this funding for the services you provide by becoming an authorized child care provider with Workforce Solutions. After receiving authorization the CCS parents record attendance daily by using the Child Care Attendance Automation (CCAA) system. Providers will then receive payment, on attendance properly reported, weekly.
If you are interested in becoming a Workforce Solutions authorized child care provider, please contact Julie Hernandez by phone at (830) 876-1221 or by e-mail at julie.hernandez@mrgdc.org.
For information on Child Care Licensing, Standards & Regulations, visit the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services website.
The Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) website also provides valuable information, including information on becoming an accredited provider (such as a Texas Rising Star Provider).
