English: Welcome to the Texas Family Child Care Network!

Civitas Strategies, LLC, in partnership with United Ways of Texas, is implementing a comprehensive statewide Family Child Care Network, serving family child care providers in Texas. The program will address key challenges such as isolation and limited resources, focusing on increasing revenue, decreasing costs, reducing business risk, and improving quality.

The information you provide here will be used to identify resources that will be most useful to you and your home-based child care business.
Completing this form does not guarantee acceptance into the network or participation in services. Eligibility is determined through a review process conducted for all registrants prior to gaining access to the Texas Family Child Care Network or affiliated services.

It is a requirement to be seeking to open a Family Child Care Home located in Texas or to be currently operating a permitted Family Child Care Home in Texas. Inaccurate information could result in removal from the network and impact participation in future programs.

You may withdraw at any time by providing written notice via email to TexasFCCN@civstrat.com (opens in new tab). Upon withdrawal, your access to related tools or services will end, including log-ins, tablets, software, incentives, or grant-based supports associated with that service.
