Dallas College Child Care Assistance
Complete the Student Care Form to be contacted with information about child care assistance for Dallas College students. It is the first step in accessing services.
In addition to help in the form of a child care voucher (if you qualify) through our Working Wonders program*, we can also provide you with a list of licensed child care centers near you to select from.
*Note: Students pursuing an Associate of Applied Science degree or certificate in a Career and Technical Education (CTE) program may qualify for the Working Wonders program — an option that grants eligible Dallas College students help in the form of a limited child care subsidy (voucher) and other services.
