Monday morning
Creative Kidz Day Care Center II just landed on the Rio Grande Valley list.
Child care center in Mercedes. Status: first state permit (initial). A new day care needs curriculum, furniture, software, insurance and a food program. If you sell any of that, this is the name you want on your desk on Monday, with the week still ahead of you.
That’s a real row from Texas HHSC Child Care Regulation: operations with an Initial permit, not a sample. The free email gives you the names. Pro gives you the address, phone, capacity and ages served.

How it works
The permit shows up first
Every Texas day care needs a state permit, and the state publishes it. That record is how we see new day cares.
The record gets published
Every Texas day care needs a permit from Health and Human Services Child Care Regulation. A new operation gets an Initial permit when it is ready to care for children, and HHSC publishes each operation, its permit type and date, its capacity and the ages it serves, every day.
We read and sort it
We read the file every day and keep Initial permits (new operations) and the first full permit that replaces one. We leave out renewals, foster and residential operations, and listed or registered family homes, which are usually a private residence. Licensed homes stay only when the operation has a business name, never a person's name.
You see it, with its limits
A permit date is the state's date, not an opening day: some centers open a week later. A full permit means the center has been open about six months, so it is labelled separately and never called brand new. Inspection records are the state's own words; we summarize counts, we don't rate anyone.
Who it’s for
Built for people who sell to new day cares
- Curriculum and classroom suppliesA new center orders curriculum, books and art supplies before its first enrollment.
- Furniture and playgroundsCribs, cots, tables and outdoor play equipment, sized to the capacity on the permit.
- Liability and property insuranceEvery new center needs general liability, abuse and molestation cover and property insurance.
- Child care softwareA new center picks its check-in, billing and parent app in its first weeks.
- CACFP food-program sponsorsNew centers and licensed homes can join the USDA food program through a sponsor.
- Staffing, training and payrollPre-service training, CPR and first aid, and the first payroll come right after the permit.
- Cleaning, pest and laundryA new license means service contracts nobody has signed yet.
- ParentsLook up any Texas day care’s state inspection record, free: search the record.
