The NISD Teacher Work Day Child Care Program is designed to support Northside Independent School District employees by providing a safe, structured, and enriching child care option during district-designated Teacher Work Days, Staff Development Days, and Teacher Planning Days.

This program is only available to Northside ISD employees who require child care on these designated days. Its purpose is to alleviate the stress and logistical challenges associated with securing childcare during non-student instructional days.
