How to choose a childcare center in Houston
- Confirm the center is licensed with your state's child care licensing agency, and review any posted inspection or violation records the agency makes public.
- Ask about staff-to-child ratios, caregiver training and background checks, staff turnover, and first aid and CPR certification for those caring for your child.
- Visit during the day, unannounced if allowed, and watch how caregivers talk to children, how the space looks, and how meals, naps, and outdoor time are handled.
- Ask about sick policies, security and pickup procedures, daily communication, tuition, late fees, and waitlists, since popular centers can have long waits.
