Child
Care Council of Greater Houston, Inc. has been a leader in Houston
area’s after school industry with over 15 years of experience
developing programs in schools and private sector. Our
programs look beyond the academics for the development of the whole
child. We prepare students for successful lives through
all-encompassing program components and our unique vision. We
believe that education needs to be community based and like pieces
of a puzzle, we all fit together to help mold each individual child.
As pieces of a puzzle: The
campuses provide safe locations, schools provide the academic rigor,
students provide their interest and aptitude, parents provide their
unconditional love and dedication, and community organization holds
the puzzle together through on-going support, enrichment
opportunities, and advocacy.
The Child Care Council of Greater Houston has been providing high quality and affordable services to Houston’s working poor since its inception in 1969. Through a multi-level approach, Child Care Council provides direct service to children, youth, and families, training services to child development staff from entry level to directorship, and the vendor voucher programs monitored by the Child Care Council puts the power of choice into the hands of impoverished families.

the district, the Child Care Council and other community partners
will reap the marketing benefits of having notable awareness from
the community as well as media to spotlight this partnership as a
leader in after school program innovation. Our
Community
The extended day program in collaboration with the Child Care Council is designed to fulfill the needs of children by providing them with appropriate learning experiences to assist in their physical, social, emotional and intellectual development. The program seeks to enhance children’s growth by offering them developmentally appropriate choices. These choices are usual non-directed so that children will have the freedom to decide upon which activities they wish to engage in. We attempt to give the children as much freedom and flexibility as possible due to the fact that a great portion of their day has been in a structured academic environment. Enhancing the growth and development of the children will not only benefit the individual student, but also their families and community at large. Child Care Council and its community partner MOCAH will work with each campus to design a project that would most suit the needs of that campus |
