Workforce Solutions Alamo (WSA) Child Care Services (CCS) provides subsidized childcare assistance to eligible families.

Enrollment in the childcare program is subject to the availability of funds. Because the need for child care services is so great in our community, we currently maintain a list of families interested in enrolling in the childcare program. At any time, parents may call our office to check on the status of enrollment.

You may be eligible if you answer yes to the following three (3) questions:

1. Are you a resident of one of the following counties? (Atascosa, Bandera, Bexar, Comal, Frio, Gillespie, Guadalupe, Kendall, Kerr, Karnes, Medina, McMullen, Wilson)

2. Are you:

• A single parent working or in training/school at least twenty-five (25) hours per week?  or
• A two-parent household with both parents working or in training/school, with each parent averaging twenty-five (25) hours per week?

Note: Until September 30, 2022: Families who do not meet these minimum activity requirements but who are otherwise eligible shall qualify for child care while searching for work that will qualify them.

• After three months, if the family still does not meet the minimum activity requirements, care will be terminated.
• If employment participation requirements are met within three months, eligibility will continue for a total of 12 months, inclusive of the three-month initial job search period.

3. Is your average gross monthly/yearly income at or below the amounts listed on the chart by family size (parents plus children)? Click here and scroll down to the family income table.

Families who receive CCS assistance may be required to pay a portion of their cost of care. The family’s share of cost will be based on a sliding fee scale, the family's gross monthly income, and family size.
