Texas Cuts 14,000 Child Care Seats
In an August vote, the state trimmed its child care scholarship program by 9.5%, and some regions started feeling it this fall. More than 100,000 Texas children were already on the waitlist.
What it means for you
Tighter budgets. Families shuffling. Every empty classroom and every overtime hour hurts more than it did last year.
How PrimeTeach helps
Pay by the hour for a trained sub, not a new full-time salary. Keep ratios met so rooms stay open. Train during nap with Siesta Sessions, so there’s no overtime.

Sound familiar?
You’ve covered a classroom yourself.
With a clipboard in one hand and a parent call on hold. We built PrimeTeach so you don't have to.
The revolving door
You hire, you train, they leave. Your best people burn out covering gaps.
The random fill-in
An app sends a stranger who's never seen your routines. You still do the vetting.
How it works
Three steps. Then breathe.

You rate them after the shift. We use every rating to keep the bench sharp.

Not a stranger off an app. A screened, trained educator our trainers helped choose.

- CPR certificate
- PrimeTeach training hours, in person + online
