EARLY LEARNING
![](https://txchildren.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/early_learning_icon_1.png)
Advocating for our youngest children to have access to high-quality early learning programs, including child care and pre-k, that help them start school ready to succeed.
We envision a Texas in which:
Working families from all communities can find affordable, high-quality child care for their children.
Children from every zip code receive the early learning experiences they need — whether in pre-k, child care, at home, or in other settings — so they can start school ready to succeed.
Children of all backgrounds, including emergent bilingual students, become strong readers by third grade.

We invited Rep. Angie Chen-Button, the Chair of the House committee overseeing child care, to
learn firsthand about child care challenges.
