Child Care
Child care programs are licensed or registered to provide supervised care within designated facilities or homes for children during some
portion of a 24-hour day. Staff for approved child care programs must meet defined educational requirements; the program must ensure
specified adult/child ratios; and the facility must meet building, fire and zoning codes. Services may include recreational and
developmental activities and snacks and/or meals, as appropriate.
Child care programs in Texas are regulated by Child Care Licensing.
