Legacy Kids Academy is a child care provider in Pflugerville participating in the Raising Travis County initiative, a partnership between Workforce Solutions Capital Area and Travis County that helps eligible families access child care assistance. Legacy Kids Academy cares for 30 children receiving care through Child Care Services, and 5 receive Raising Travis County scholarships.
“The increased funding from Travis County has made a real difference in the lives of the children and families we serve. Because of this investment, we were able to improve the quality of our programs, purchase essential materials, and provide stronger support services to families who need them most,” said the center’s director.
“We have seen children become more engaged, confident, and supported, while families feel more connected to resources and opportunities in their community. This funding has helped create safer, more enriching environments where children can learn, grow, and thrive,” she said.
Raising Travis County creates positive impact beyond Legacy Kids Academy and Pflugerville, according to the director:
“The impact of Travis County’s support reaches far beyond our program walls, it is strengthening families and building a brighter future for communities across the county.”
We currently have 445 children receiving care through Raising Travis County, and the initiative has awarded $3.8 million in gap payments to providers, helping them cover the true cost of quality care.
Families across Travis County may qualify for help paying for child care through this initiative. To learn more about Raising Travis County and to join the waitlist, visit rtc.wfscapitalarea.com.
