How to check the record

  1. Go to the Texas HHSC public child care search page (link below).
  2. Search for the daycare by name or location to find its listing.
  3. Open the operation details page and the inspection and compliance history page. DaycareList provider pages link to both pages.

  5. Read the narrative in each citation record to see what the inspector found.
  6. Compare the dates of inspections and citations over the years covered by the state records.
  7. Ask the provider questions about specific citations you read in the record.
