Quality care is more affordablethan most parents think.
We accept Workforce Solutions Gulf Coast subsidies (CCS, often called “NCI”) for working families in 77083 and the surrounding Alief area. Many parents qualify and don't realize it.
Most working families in 77083 qualify.
The exact thresholds change each year, but here’s the shape of who’s eligible.
- Income at or below ~85% of the Texas State Median Income.
- Working, in school, or in job training (25 hrs/week single, 50 hrs combined for two parents).
- A child between 0 and 13 years old, or a child with disabilities up to age 19.
- Living in the Texas Gulf Coast region (Harris, Waller, and surrounding counties).
Five steps. We help with all of them.
- 01
Tour LELA first.
Confirm we're the right fit before you start an application. We can walk you through the rest in person.
- 02
Apply with Workforce Solutions Gulf Coast.
Application is online or by phone. We'll give you the exact link and the documents you'll need.
- 03
Submit your documents.
Photo ID, proof of work or school, proof of income, and the child's birth certificate and immunizations.
- 04
Wait for the decision.
Most families hear back within 2–3 months. We'll hold your spot when we can.
- 05
Start at LELA.
Once approved, your subsidy applies on day one. Many families pay only a small co-pay or nothing at all.
No surprise charges. Ever.
