Childcare is not a luxury, it’s essential infrastructure for working families, thriving communities, and our economy. When childcare is unavailable, families are forced to make impossible choices and workplaces feel the impact. Childcare professionals deserve meaningful support, fair investment, and recognition for the critical work they do every day. Families deserve accessible, affordable care they can count on.

Join us for A Day Without Childcare Advocacy Day and help make it clear: childcare matters. Your presence sends a powerful message to lawmakers that Texas families and educators need action now.

📍 Texas State Capitol
🗓 Monday, May 11, 2026
⏰ 11:00 AM–12:30 PM CT

Show up. Speak out. Stand with families and childcare educators.
