Childcare Services

The Alamo Colleges District in San Antonio, Texas, requires a flexible and cost-effective childcare solution to help students with children attend in-person classes and access campus services. The agency is seeking scheduled, drop-in, and specialized short-term childcare services across its five colleges and affiliated programs. The selected provider must deliver these services onsite at the college facilities under a one-year contract. The scope of work covers three distinct childcare models for children aged three to twelve, or ages two to thirteen if the provider has relevant experience. For regular year-round childcare, the provider must detail its programming, staffing, child-to-provider ratios by age, hours of operation, staff training, on-site management, and facility requirements. The drop-in childcare model requires a similar year-round plan with flexible hours, specific ratio models, staff training protocols, and on-site management strategies. The specialized short-term childcare model must address scheduled, temporary events such as thematic summer camps, holiday sessions like spring break, or one-day events. Bidders must describe their programming, staffing, ratios, flexible hours, and on-site management for these short-term services. The agency is looking for proposals to determine the budget and has not disclosed a pre-set funding limit. Eligibility is restricted to onshore organizations based in the United States. All performance of the childcare services must take place onsite at the designated Alamo Colleges facilities. The agency has not specified key dates or detailed evaluation criteria in the source document, focusing instead on the submission of comprehensive operational proposals.
