About Us
Child Care Associates reaches more than 14,000 children across Tarrant County. We're one of the largest child development organizations in North Texas.
WE SERVE THE WHOLE CHILD AND FAMILY by providing academic and social/emotional growth through quality early education and child care programs. Our early education programs provide much more than instruction - we ensure that each child has a family doctor, a dentist, and is up-to-date on all immunizations and screenings. We ease the burden on low-income families by offering no-cost CCA campuses or offsetting the high cost of child care. As a result, parents are able to work or finish school while learning important parenting and life skills.
