Jalisco Launches Childcare Aid With Cash Stipends and Center Upgrades

The plan aims to keep parents working after federal cuts left fewer affordable care options.

Overview

  • The state rolled out a new round of the Yo Jalisco childcare program with 100 million pesos for family aid and 50 million for facility improvements.
  • Families will get 1,500 pesos a month for eight months for 3,894 children, and parents can use the money at the care site they choose.
  • Eligibility covers up to three children per family, from birth through 5 years and 11 months, or up to age 11 for children with disabilities.
  • Officials said coverage expanded from 50 to 77 municipalities and now includes centers run by municipal DIF systems, though some reports list 78.
  • Governor Pablo Lemus also said Jalisco will keep the 2025–2026 school calendar in place and will not end classes early for the World Cup.
