Dallas-Fort Worth: child care permit records, last 30 days

45 child care permit records: 31 new operations got their first state permit (an Initial permit) and 14 moved from an Initial permit to a full permit. By type, 28 were child care centers and 17 were licensed child-care homes (counted, never named).

That’s 29% of the 155 statewide in the same 30 days.

Separately, Texas HHSC registered 23 new child-care homes in the same window. A registered home is a small day care in someone’s own house, usually filed under the owner’s name, so we give the count only, never names or addresses. They aren’t in any other count here.
