Texas is home to 10 percent of the nation’s children 0–5 and 20 percent of the nation’s Latinx. Each year approximately 400,000 children are born in Texas and more than $3.5 billion federal and state dollars are invested in early childhood programs and services. During the 2019 legislative session, state leaders made significant advances in the early childhood area by passing legislation to provide funding for full[1]day pre-k care for eligible children, providing stronger supports for childcare safety. Additionally, Texas lawmakers provided a significant increase in funding for Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) for babies and toddlers with disabilities and developmental delays. The following annual funding breakout, map, and program and service descriptions are not exhaustive of all early childhood expenditure but are intended to be a primer on the state’s complex early childhood system.
