How to check a Mcallen daycare

Search any program on Kinfield or the official Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) Child Care Regulation site. Our Texas guide explains what each finding means. Citation counts reflect how often inspectors visit and what each regulator records, so compare programs within the same state, not across states. A citation is a finding at one visit, not a rating. Check each program's page for dates and whether it was corrected.
