Neighborhood Centers Incorporated (NCI) is one of the most widely used child‑care assistance programs for families in Magnolia, The Woodlands, and Montgomery County. NCI helps working parents afford high‑quality preschool and early childhood education by covering a significant portion of weekly tuition costs. Families searching for NCI child care assistance in Magnolia TX or NCI preschool programs in The Woodlands TX often choose My Forest Village Preschool because we proudly accept NCI funding and guide families through the approval process.

NCI Tuition Assistance for Preschool & Kindergarten-Age Children

What Is NCI Child Care Assistance?

NCI is a community‑based program designed to support working families by reducing the cost of licensed child care. Once approved, NCI pays a large portion of your child’s tuition directly to the school, and parents pay only a small co‑pay based on income and household size.

NCI funding can be used for children ages 0–12, including preschoolers and kindergarten‑age children enrolled in licensed programs like My Forest Village Preschool. This makes NCI an essential resource for families seeking affordable, high‑quality early education.

Who Qualifies for NCI Funding?

Families may qualify if they meet the following requirements:

• Parents are working, in job training, or attending school
• Household income meets NCI eligibility guidelines
• Children are between 0–12 years old
• Parents live within the NCI service area (including Magnolia & The Woodlands)

Many families in Montgomery County rely on NCI to make preschool and pre‑K more affordable, and our school supports parents through every step of the application process.

How NCI Helps Families

Once approved, NCI provides:

• Substantial tuition assistance for preschool and pre‑K
• Direct payments to the school on your behalf
• Lower weekly out‑of‑pocket costs
• Access to high‑quality, licensed early learning programs
• Support for working parents in Magnolia, The Woodlands, and surrounding areas

Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) CCS Tuition Assistance

In addition to NCI, families may also qualify for the Texas Workforce Commission’s Child Care Services (CCS) program. CCS is another major funding source that helps parents pay for licensed child care while they work, attend school, or participate in job training.

What Is CCS Tuition Assistance?

CCS is a state‑funded program that pays a large portion of weekly tuition directly to the school. Families pay only a small parent share based on income and household size. CCS is available to children ages 0–12, including preschool and kindergarten‑age children.

Who Qualifies for CCS Funding?

Families may qualify if they meet the following requirements:

• Parents are working, in job training, or attending school
• Household income falls within TWC eligibility guidelines
• Children are between 0–12 years old
• Parents live within the Workforce Solutions service area

How CCS Helps Families

Once approved, CCS provides:

• Significant tuition discounts for preschool and pre‑K
• Direct payments to the school
