Celebrating Campus Children’s Centers Week: Honoring Our Impact and Partnerships
Partnerships
The Children’s Centers at Texas A&M University are proud and active members of the National Coalition for Campus Child Care Centers. Each October, we take time to celebrate the extraordinary work happening every day as we support students, faculty, staff, and community families. This month is a special opportunity to highlight the critical role of high-quality early childhood education in promoting children’s overall health, development, and lifelong success.
Our impact extends far beyond the classroom. The services we provide contribute meaningfully to the broader campus community by helping to recruit and retain students, faculty, and staff. We are proud to offer a nurturing, consistent environment where children can thrive—while also making it possible for parents to balance their academic and professional responsibilities with peace of mind.
We extend our deepest gratitude to Texas A&M University for your unwavering support. Thank you to all our partners, supporters, and collaborators who make our work possible. Your commitment allows us to continue delivering best practices in early childhood education, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to learn and grow in a safe, stimulating environment.

As a model program for the university, we provide hands-on learning experiences for young children and offer meaningful opportunities for university students to observe, participate, and grow in real classroom settings. We implement evidence-based, research-informed best practices and welcome others to learn from our approach.
We are proud to serve as a training site for various university programs. Our partnerships include hosting clinical rotations for College of Nursing students, offering practicum and internship opportunities for the College of Education and Human Development starting this spring, and providing observation hours for students completing course requirements.
Additionally, we’re excited to announce the launch of our new research application process, now available on the Children’s Centers website. If you’re interested in collaborating, need a letter of support, or would like to conduct research at one of our centers, we invite you to visit our site to learn more and get involved.
We’re proud to offer continuity of care for families on campus, understanding the unique challenges that come with balancing work, study, and childcare. Your success is our success, and we are committed to supporting the well-being of every member of our university community.
