Building a Stronger Future for Families and Businesses

The Greater New Braunfels Early Care and Education Report reveals the urgent connection between childcare, family well-being, and local economic growth. Developed by Early Matters San Antonio in collaboration with the Greater New Braunfels Chamber of Commerce and the McKenna Foundation, the report brings community voices together to confront the rising cost of childcare, staffing shortages, and limited access to high-quality early learning.

It’s both a call to action and a roadmap for solutions—introducing collaborative models like shared services for providers, employer-supported childcare, and workforce incentives that strengthen quality and access.

By working together, New Braunfels can create a childcare system that supports families, empowers educators, and sustains the local economy.
