It is also illegal to leave children alone in a vehicle for longer than five minutes if they are under seven years of age without adequate supervision.<\/p>\n<h2>Childcare<\/h2>\n<p>There are many different childcare options in San Antonio, but which route you take is a very personal decision made after considering factors like cost, location, safety, etc. It is common for teenagers to work as babysitters, and are often found by word of mouth or community bulletin boards or internet groups. Always make sure you feel comfortable with the person you are asking to babysit your children.<\/p>\n<h2>Community<\/h2>\n<p>Often times, cities, neighborhoods or apartment complexes will host family-friendly events. Community centers, gyms, or recreation organizations (ex. YMCAs) will have summer camps, date nights for parents, and other family and children-oriented events.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;panel single-border colorized-border border-colorized-theme-accent single-border-top&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Resources<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.childwelfare.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Child Welfare Information<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.acf.hhs.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Administration for Children &amp; Families<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hhs.gov\/about\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Department of Health and Human Services<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row el_class=&#8221;far&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text] Schools The State of Texas offers free, public education to children 18 years old and under.
