The Importance of Licensed Child Care for Summer Break
· Texas Border Business
The Texas Health and Human Services Commission is urging parents to select licensed child care providers this summer. HHS Executive Commissioner Stephanie Muth emphasized the importance of safe and nurturing environments for children. Families are encouraged to utilize online resources to check compliance histories of potential providers. Regulated child care facilities must adhere to safety standards and conduct background checks on staff, unlike unregulated ones that may pose risks. The HHSC Search Texas Child Care website helps families locate licensed centers and learn about various care options. For concerns about unlicensed facilities, the Texas Abuse Hotline is available 24/7 at 800-252-5400.
