Who licenses child care in Texas?
Texas Health and Human Services, Child Care Regulation licenses and inspects child care centers, preschools and home daycares in Texas. Every profile links to the state record. Licence data on this page was synced in September 2026.
How common are inspection violations at Leander daycares?

Across 551 daycare centers in the metro area, the median center has 4 violations on record in the last three years, and 102 centers have none. 306 have at least one rated high risk by the state. Texas rates every standard from Low to High by the harm a breach could cause, and records the date each violation was corrected. The narrative is the inspector's own.
What does daycare cost in Leander?
38 programs in the metro area publish full-time tuition on their website. The median starting price is $1,225 a month, and $1,495 a month for infants. Most programs share tuition only on a tour, so ask for the full fee schedule including registration and supply fees.
Why do home daycares show only a ZIP code?
A licensed home daycare is a private residence. The listing shows the licence, capacity and ZIP code. The provider gives the address to families directly.
When should I join a daycare waitlist in Leander?
Infant rooms fill first because the state allows the fewest babies per teacher. Ask each program how long its infant and toddler waitlists run and whether a deposit holds a place. Home daycares often have shorter waits than centers.
Help paying for care
