Center for Transforming Lives

Join us for a Lunch & Learn webinar as we discuss the child care crisis, its impact on businesses and families in Texas, and evidence-based solutions. Register at: https://lnkd.in/gwgwzHdE High-quality child care facilitates healthy brain and socioemotional development in children, while also allowing parents to participate in the workforce. Lack of access to consistent, high-quality child care costs the Texas economy billions of dollars through lost tax revenue and missed work days. Lack of quality child care is also a root cause of rising poverty rates among low-income families. To ensure child care supports families and businesses, centers need high-quality early childhood educators. Texas has opportunities to invest more in childcare to both support working families and strengthen the workforce of today and tomorrow.

It's official! Fort Worth City Council voted Aug. 13 to purchase our current downtown building for a public library. Proceeds of the sale will support our new Riverside Campus, significantly expanding our capacity to provide critical services for single mothers and their children experiencing homelessness and poverty!

Our new Riverside Campus is rapidly becoming a reality! The second floor has been expanded, framing is underway, crews are roughing in piping, mechanical and electrical inside the walls, and fire-proofing is almost done. The building will house high quality early childhood education, therapy for both mothers and children, housing supports and an entire hub of economic opportunity services, including a makerspace, commercial kitchen and business incubators that support mothers seeking primary or secondary sources of family income. A one-stop shop for families offering hope, healing and pathways out of poverty! https://lnkd.in/gwF6uwix
