Daycare File keeps the inspection file open
A public-record directory for licensed child-care providers, collecting inspection histories, violations, enforcement actions, and license status.
Field notes
The directory says it copies inspection material from state licensing agencies and preserves the agency’s own severity labels rather than adding an in-house score. Its stated coverage is currently uneven: Texas is listed with 13,003 providers, while the page reports no other published states and no states in preparation. A correction process is offered, with submissions described as free and reviewed within five business days.
