Texas Daycare Report: week of November 2, 2026

Texas Daycare Report: week of November 2, 2026

What the public records showed across seven Texas regions from Monday, November 2 through Sunday, November 8, 2026.

29 child care permit records: 14 new operations got their first state permit (an Initial permit) and 15 moved from an Initial permit to a full permit. By type, 22 were child care centers and 7 were licensed child-care homes (counted, never named). That’s 14 fewer than the week before (43).

Separately, Texas HHSC registered 7 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.

What this covers. Licensed child care centers, licensed child-care homes with a business name, and before or after-school programs anywhere in Texas, from the state's own permit file. Listed and registered family homes are left off the list because they are usually a private home; the home page shows a count of newly registered homes, with no names. The free inspection lookup covers every day care in the file.

Window: November 2 to November 8, 2026 (record dates). Counted from the same records and filters as the site’s map and home page on November 12, 2026; recent posts are recounted as late records arrive. A record is a signal, not a promise. How we read these records.
