Certification through Texas Rising Star is available to licensed child care centers, as well as licensed and registered child care home facilities, provided they meet the established certification criteria.

A program certified by Texas Rising Star is recognized as an early learning provider that has agreed to deliver enhanced quality care through the Texas Workforce Commission Child Care Services. These programs satisfy requirements that exceed the minimum standards set by the State’s Child Care Regulation and are awarded a certification level of Two-Star, Three-Star, or Four-Star, depending on the extent of compliance.
