Mauk Child Development Center in Fort Worth on Sept. 13, 2023.Texas voters next month will decide whether certain child care centers could receive a property tax exemption, giving some financial relief to a sector that struggles to provide competitive wages and affordable tuition rates for parents.constitutional amendments that will be on the Nov. 7 ballot.
“It’ll be up to the discretion of how child care providers wish to utilize that cost savings, but ultimately they should be able to invest back into their programs without having to pass that financial burden back onto parents,” Davis said. “We anticipate things that come out in the form of increased educator wages, potentially reducing costs for parents or investing in the general quality improvement of their programs.
“That’s been a tight situation with enrollment being low. That would allow me to give them a raise increase or a bonus or something to show I appreciate them for hanging in here,” she said. “That will be a big help.” “We have the child care cliff that we’re all experiencing with the money that ran out at the end of September. Prop 2 is not going to replace all those funds, and it’s not going to solve child care, but it’s a good start and way for providers to really feel some relief,” Kofron said.
