The Dallas County Employer Match Program brings you families with guaranteed funding. Fill your open slots and grow your business.
Three powerful reasons to participate in the Employer Match Program
Receive payments directly from multiple funding sources — employer contributions and Dallas County matching funds — deposited straight to your account. No chasing payments. No collection headaches.
Showcase your program with a professional digital profile visible to thousands of families. Highlight your curriculum, hours (including overnight and non-traditional), photos, and availability in real time.
Many Dallas County families cannot afford quality care without support. The Employer Match Program bridges that gap, bringing you families who otherwise could not enroll — expanding your reach and filling your capacity.
The Dallas County network supports the full spectrum of child care
Licensed centers serving infants through pre-K
Licensed home-based providers with smaller group sizes
Programs for school-age children during non-school hours
Care for families working shifts, weekends, and overnight
Seasonal care and enrichment during school breaks
Educational programs preparing children for kindergarten
Set up your digital storefront with your facility details, photos, hours of operation, curriculum, pricing, and real-time availability. This profile is visible to all enrolled families searching for care.
Families enrolled in the Dallas County Employer Match Program search for providers by location, schedule, and care type. Your profile appears in their search results with real-time availability.
When a family selects your facility, enrollment is confirmed and payments begin. You receive direct deposits from both the employer contribution and the Dallas County match — reliable, multi-source funding.

Do not miss this opportunity to grow your enrollment and serve more families.
Licensed child care providers in Dallas County can join the network by creating a digital profile. Once listed, families enrolled in the Employer Match Program can find and select your facility, and you receive direct multi-source payments.
All licensed child care providers in Dallas County are eligible, including child care centers, family child care homes, before and after school programs, and providers offering overnight or non-traditional hours.
Payments are deposited directly to your account from multiple sources — the employer's contribution and the Dallas County matching funds. This multi-source payment model provides more reliable revenue than single-source tuition.
