Now that you've made this decision, it's important to have the right resources. The first step to opening your own child care program is deciding what type of child care operation you want to open. The type of operation will determine the steps you need to take to receive a permit and become a provider. In Texas, permits are issued by the Health and Human Services Commission’s Child Care Regulation (HHSC CCR). Their website has information about permit requirements, the application process, and ongoing compliance.
