Major Provisions

  • Develop minimum standards to promote the
    health, safety, and well being of children in out-of-home
    care.
  • Inspect child-care operations to ensure they
    maintain compliance with minimum standards.
  • Investigate allegations of abuse/neglect, investigate
    violations of standards or the law and ensure
    appropriate enforcement actions are taken.
  • Conduct criminal background checks and DFPS
    Central Registry checks on all adult staff or
    caregivers, other adults and youth ages 14 to 18
    who will be in regular or frequent contact with
    children in child-care operations.
  • Take corrective and adverse actions when necessary.
  • Offer consultation to potential applicants and
    permit holders about meeting and maintaining
    compliance with Licensing standards.
  • Educate the general public about choosing
    regulated child-care and inform them of the childcare
    options in Texas through media campaigns
    and by maintaining an online database of child-care
    providers, including information regarding each
    operation's compliance history.
  • Enforce regulatory requirements for all child-care
    providers, including illegally operating child-care
    providers.

Other Programmatic Information:

Challenges:

  • Consistently enforcing adherence to minimum
    standards across the state.
  • Developing cooperative, professional, and effective
    relationships with child-care operations resulting in
    increased compliance and stronger protection for
    children.
  • Providing technical assistance to all child care
    operations, especially focusing on those struggling
    to maintain compliance with standards.
  • Providing thorough, efficient and timely
    background check results to over a quarter of a
    million people each year seeking to work in child
    care, provide foster care or adopt a child.
  • Maximizing technology resources to improve the
    efficiency and effectiveness of regulatory practices
    and allow licensing staff to become an increasingly
    mobile workforce.
  • Creating standards that protect the health and
    safety of children in care without impacting the
    affordability and availability of that care.
