Texas child care directory questions
How many licensed daycare centers are in Texas?
The 2026-09-22 source snapshot contains 9,602 active operations classified by Texas HHSC as Licensed Center. This count excludes home-based care and other permit types.

What is the difference between daycare and child care in Texas?
Families often use the terms interchangeably. Texas HHSC classifies regulated operations by permit and operation type. This directory specifically includes active Licensed Center records, regardless of whether a business uses “daycare,” “preschool,” or “child care” in its name.
