All licensed daycare facilities in Texas are listed in our directory. You can also verify a facility's license status through Texas's childcare licensing agency. Licensed facilities must meet state standards for safety, health, staff-to-child ratios, and staff qualifications.
When comparing daycare options in Texas, consider:
  • Licensing status and inspection history
  • Staff-to-child ratios (Texas sets minimum requirements by age group)
