About daycare licensing in Texas

Licensed child care in Texas is regulated by Texas Health and Human Services, Child Care Regulation, which licenses providers, conducts inspections, investigates complaints, and publishes enforcement actions on the public record. Those state filed records, not reviews, are what this page is computed from. One precision note: some programs are legally exempt from licensing in many states (certain school- or church-operated programs, and small home settings under the state’s size threshold) and therefore do not appear on the licensed register at all. This page covers every provider on Texas’s public licensing file.

Frequently asked questions

How many daycares are in Dallas, TX?

Dallas has 431 active licensed daycares on Texas's public file, with a combined licensed capacity of 41,278. Every one is ranked on this page with a free records layer grade.

How does Dallas compare with the rest of Texas?

Dallas's average records layer score is 80.5, 0.4 points below the statewide average of 80.9. 61 of 431 Dallas facilities have a clean record with no deficiencies on file.

How are these grades calculated?

The free records layer grade contains zero zReports judgment: it maps the government's own published verdicts, state child care licensing and enforcement records, through one fixed rule applied identically nationwide. The paid Consumer Intelligence Report™ adds the composite Consumer Z Score™ and audits the record against public reputation.

Can a facility pay to change its ranking?

No. Facilities are never contacted, never notified, and cannot pay to be listed, delisted, or re-scored. Independence is the product.

Data Provenance

This report was generated from the zReports Consumer Records Database™, a continuously updated database that normalizes official government licensing, inspection, enforcement, ownership, and safety records across multiple federal and state agencies. Every statistic in this report is traceable to its originating public record. Facilities cannot pay to alter scores, rankings, or findings.
