City, Child Care Associates to partner on Las Vegas Trail childcare

Published on November 29, 2023

City Council on Tuesday authorized Child Care Associates to build and operate a childcare center in the Las Vegas Trail neighborhood.

Why it matters:Child Care Associates will serve as the City's representative to develop a facility at 8201 Calmont Ave., adjacent to the Rise Community Center. The facility will be known as Child Care Studio at LVT.

The bottom line: Funding comes from Tarant County, which awarded the City $2.75 million in federal funds for construction costs. Funding recipients are required to partner with a local Early Head Start provider to operate the childcare facility. The City selected Child Care Associates as its partner.

The agreement permits Child Care Associates to erect a modular building on leased property on Calmont Avenue for the new facility.
