Child Care Certificate

The Child Care Certificate Program is a state program that assists Families First participants, parents transitioning off Families First, parents working or enrolled in post-secondary education programs, teen parents, and children in foster care. It’s also called the subsidized child care program. To participate in the program, families must be declared eligible by the Department of Human Services (TDHS) staff or by the Department of Children’s Services (DCS) staff for children in foster care. TDHS provides financial assistance with child care costs for families meeting income guideline criteria through several child care assistance programs.

Temporary Gap Care for Foster Families

Olive Tree Early Learning Academy is working to be a community hub and resource for all types of families. We understand that many times when foster families receive a child into their home there is an immediate need for a safe childcare environment. While Olive Tree does not always have permanent placement for these Little Learners, we can often offer temporary care while families work to secure a permanent childcare spot. If your family is interested in temporary care please send a direct email to our Director of Family & Community Engagement
