Overview

Mission

The purpose of the children's coalition of aransas county is to create, support, educate and improve care, and resources for the children and families of aransas county and surrounding areas through strategic partnerships.

What it reported doing in 2024

2.child care and early education quality improvement: the quality, availability and affordability of childcare has a significant impact on a family's ability to work and bring in sufficient income to support themselves. The children's coalition of aransas county provides training and technical assistance to childcare providers throughout the coastal bend area. These services are provided free or at a very low cost. Currently we are working on a family child care initiative in which we provide special training, technical assistance and physical and financial support for the development of registered or licensed family childcare programs that serve children from birth to age three years. It is currently estimated that there are 1300 children under the age of 3 years in our community, while there are only 59 childcare slots available for that age group. As of september 1, 2020 we are working with three prospective family childcare providers and one prospective childcare center owner so that the childcare crisis in our community can be relieved. In 2022, we opened our daycare center which now provides income based services to families in need, expanding services to the community.
