Texas Health and Human Services Commission Child Care Regulation (HHSC CCR)
HHSC CCR gives licenses and permits to child care providers and sets health and safety rules. The type of permit given depends on the type of provider. Providers must follow HHSC CCR’s rules to operate. Think of it like a safety checklist for child care providers.
HHSC CCR does the following:
- Focuses on health and safety
- Checks in with providers to make sure they are following the rules
- Investigates complaints about child care providers
- Gives parents important information about providers
